I'd like to see pics of the PVC final product, installed. Might be something I look into. Thanks.

Interesting idea. I had a guy come in to the shop with a VROD that used black vinyl from a sign store. It looked pretty good and better than I could imagine PVC looking. There is a sing store right next to the shop so I might just have them slap some on my forks to see how it looks.

Vinyl would do the trick as far as blacking that area out but the pipe makes the front look stockier. I'm gonna get this done one way or the other, I'll post pics when it's done

If you have a machine shop nearby, prob wouldn't cost much to have a couple 8" long pieces of 1.5" sched 40 PVC reamed out a few thousandths.....

not sure how permanent your front end is but I had a buddy paint his. He left the forks installed and tapped then painted. I'm sure most guys on here would say not to but he rocked that painted look with no problems for a good 10k miles before he sold the bike.
