Re: VFR No4. The clothes horse
That's really cheap.
How much is it to Ti Nitride the sliders?
Reckon I need to get them done now rather than after it's finished.

Re: VFR No4. The clothes horse
The TiNi is expensive, if you really wanted it done I would buy a new set of stanchions from wemoto and then speak to Kais or All Bike Engineering about getting the coating done. Theres no way I would spend TiNi money on pitted fork legs

Re: VFR No4. The clothes horse
Your right. I'll look to getting that done maybe over the winter then next year. It's been off the road for 5 years now so it needs to be ridden. I NEED to ride it lol

Re: VFR No4. The clothes horse
Yeah that's right, I do put quite a few bits through them, may be getting a discount and not realising it.
All the parts I give them are 100% clean though which is half the battle.
Yeah I suppose so, you would have to speak to them, I'm not sure about the process and going over old anodising.
Freshly machined ally can go any colour you like

Re: VFR No4. The clothes horse
They'll be able to strip off the old ano and reapply a different colour.
