    My red forks aren't so red anymore

    After looking at my R for a while, I decided that red forks and red boots was just gonna be too much, so here is what I did to break it up a bit.
    These are Carbon look uppers that I modded to fit my forks.

    Looks better in person
    After I got em figured out, and on the forks, I grabbed a beer and stared for a bit.
    The more I look at it, the more I like it.
    The Carbon-fiber look really pops out in the light.
    I think I'm gonna like it much better when the R is buttoned up, and ready to ride

    Now you need some carbon fiber look levers and number plate backgrounds for your fenders.

    I thought about trimming out some carbon backgrounds for the rear fenders, and I may still do it.
    I have a set of diamond plate looking ones right now waiting for some fenders to go on. I still am undecided on it.
    Either way, it'll look good, I think.

    word to the wise. since those are just stocker,s take the forks appart and clean then perfectly then use acidtone to finish clenaing. finally clear coar them withthe stickers on. this will help protect them from chipping and fraying at the edges due to water, and weather.
