Default Fork ideas

Hello,

I have a vivid black FLFBS that I’m trying to piece together black parts to replace the chrome.. I haven’t seen any options for black forks but I see many custom FLBS bikes with all black accent pieces… can I just paint those parts or should I get replacement pieces?

Look up willyshiny. Do an exchange for his powder coated lower legs.

Just got back from the powder coat estimate.. it was $670 for the forks and headlamp cover.. not bad but now I gotta figure out how to take apart the forks

670 for forks and a headlight cover is crazy.

Is that price him doing the labor too? Or just powder coating your parts?

As another poster mentioned, look into ***** shiny. I think his powder coated fork legs on an exchange bases are around $250.
