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

 

pvc, primed, painted, cleared.....holds up great, bugs come off with mist n' shine

 

If you're just lookin for the uppers, talk to JRK Powder Pro Joe! He makes something you might like... always does a killer job!

 

Vinyl is so cheap and easy and looks great.

 

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.

 

Wrap them in Para cord..

 

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.
