Here is a couple of pics of the forks from my HLT that Superbike Dan sprayed for me. Top bloke is Dan, a real gent. :daumenhoch:
The finish on the forks is superb, top quality but the colour is a wee bit too blue. I will be sending the F&F to Dan after the weekend to match the forks to the frame as there is still a lot of the original finish on it. The frame will then be matched to the forks.
I have a nice new set of decals for this baby. The original gen 2 profiles will also be getting some attention and a fresh set of decals. I will keep you all posted on progress.

lol, that has got to be the hardest colour to match, because it's a coloured laquer every pass with the spray gun
alters the colour, wish me luck ;)

Good luck Dan :daumenhoch: G.

That is good news Dan. If you can match I have a leary set to be done too, f+f+bars!
I still have not managed to get that Kuwi Nova frame stripped of the chrome so it can go back to you for the finishing powder will try soon. You still got the forks though Dan?
Cheers
