What to do with forks?

[jaymi608]

I am at the stage where I need to decide the color on the lower forks. The rims will be blacked out and I have attached a pic of the bike to date. Do I buff them out? Paint them black or paint to match the frame? Let me know what you think.

Polish them.

I agree with Von. Either polish like he suggested or a brushed look.

Well it looks like the debate is over before it begins. Thanks for the input.

I thought about polishing, but I don't think I want to work real hard keeping it shiny.

I painted mine with Duplicolor Aluminum Engine Paint #1615. Looks like the original color from Honda. If you get tired of keeping the polished look, some primer and paint are easy to do later. I clear coated with a Clearcoat. Some of my buddies were surprised that I painted them, they thought I had put new ones on.

Thanks for the pics mydlyfkryzis. They look pretty good. I will keep that in mind.
