It's Aug 2nd, sunny and 90 degrees. We have a relatively short prime riding season and you're thinking about winter mods?

In my work conditions it take that long to save the money that i need to complete the mods,proper planning doesn't affect my riding now or later.

If you are like me and are sitting at work surfing on here, then prudent planning is a good idea!!! I have not heard of "transparent black paint" though.

VHT makes a transparent black paint to tint lens covers. Dont know how it would hold up on fork lowers. http://www.vhtpaint.com/niteshades.html. I would powdercoat them black along with your trees.

Sounds pretty cool. I'm curious to see how it turns out. Wonder if its durable enough for the lower forks?
