Curious how you got the glossy forks? Are they painted?

Everybody seems to say that Boomtubes degrade performance, and he obviously cares about performance, so a full Termi system (or similar) makes sense. I agree that the Boomtubes look great, though (and weigh less, too).

Must be the angle/light, cause they look SUPER glossy. All the forks I've ever seen ano'd were a flat/satin black

Well, they certainly could have been cleared over, but I think the Ohlins-black anodization is pretty glossy - kopfjager had his ohlins rearshock re-ano'd black by Ohlins, and the desmo's forks come that way from the factory

They’re simply anodized black. They did come out pretty glossy though.

i have NEVER been a fan of the newer gen monsters until now. from one black bike man to another - well done arrick. looks very subtle but super nasty. i think it's the best looking monster north of 2008 i've ever seen.

I really like where they’re at. I have been tweaking hear and there for the past couple months (Gone through three seats) to really get it dialed in and I think I’ve got it where I like it.

If you don't mind....who did the forks? Last few sets I've had done were hard anodized. Much flatter of a finish, but I like the gloss (as long as it will hold up).

my guess is back to Ohlins in North Carolina; that's who blacked the ohlins shock on kopfjager's machine
i'd like to have 'em do some of my bits and pieces as well, but re-blacking the shock is around $400, and respringing with a titanium spring is also $350-400, and for the substantial decrease in weight on a working/moving part, the Ti Spring is winning the battle for money I don't have in my head right now.

I worked directly with Ohlins USA in Hendersonville, NC. They outsource their anodizing to someone local to them. I am not sure who...
