Default Gold plate my forks. Help!

Im not 100% on what way to go here. I have heard is called gold nitrated forks. I inherited my dads 94 883 Sportster. The heads are sent off to www.1250kits.com and she will be coming back with 110-115hp. Im going with the Ohlin Montotube high pressure gas type shock with Piggyback reservoirs, and looking to adjust my front springs for performance, but cluesless what to go with. And get the uppers coated gold. Pics of what im going from and to. I really would like the IDENTICAL front fork set up on this Great Escape bike done in the UK attached here.

Ok, to answer my on question, just in case anybody comes down this path.

You can get an excell rim thats not punched from RKXL America, talk to Cole. The hubs have to come from RideWright, talk to Steve.

They then need to go to Matt over at Bucannans Spokes to assmble the spokes to the rim and hub.
