Default Black out upper forks

Here is how to black out upper forks: Cut 2 pieces of aluminum tubes and powdercoat it, you can also have that "fat" look. Just did it to mine with a 60 mm (outside) and 50 mm (inside) tube and it looks really cool.

Peter I don't the brand and color code on the powdercoat but it is pretty much dead on. I live in Denmark and I used the local powdercoater and asked for matte black color. He showed me some other parts they had made for another guy and the color was perfect so I just asked for the same color. They did one hell of a job and the color and finish is perfect.
