PVC does work good for this - we did it to a buddy's V-rod last year

PCV will work but I would think the vinyl would be easier and cheaper

Vinyl does look good but I witnessed an experience with it that makes me never want to use it on any type of bike or car of mine.

My company had a car wrapped with vinyl and it looked great for about 2 years. Then it started drying out, peeling and cracking so we took it off. Removal was a nightmare in itself and it damaged what was underneath.

This car was outside in the sun almost every day and a bike may or may not be but from that experience I would never put it on my bike.

I would never use this stuff on a painted surface. The stainless steel fork tubes aren't going to have any side effects though. The adhesive comes off with acetone. MPK works even better if you can get it. I have access to gallons of the stuff.

I just bought some 2 inch pipe from Lowes to fit over my 2010 Street Bob fork tubes. I still have to cut it to size and then get them powder coated. I will post some pics when I get it finished.
