Got it, well I chatted with another fellow, as I noted who said for $60-80, he can do my trees, and probably my strut covers while hes at it (bought a set of black ones in rough shape for $20 shipped. And the fork sliders, well, Ill probably do those at the same time, if its only $60, probably get a bulk discount if I do it all together.
