Hi All,

I'm planning to do a cosmetic refresh on the Mothership and I need to see pics of painted forks and aftermarket handlebars. (either is fine, they don't have to be together) Because of Photobucket, most of the old threads don't have pics anymore, so search is most definetly not my friend.

Ride safe,

Alien

I love how you did the headlight can.  cooldude (you need a matching thermometer for the clock)

Me too.  In fact, I'm planning to do my front end pretty much the same as yours.  Did you paint the forks or powdercoat?  How did you prep the headlight bucket to get the paint to stick?

Everything disassembled including the forks (Grumpy) and given to my local PC.   Handlebars are from a 1999 Drifter re-PC black. Left bottom triple tree polished for contrast along with the fork caps.

Did you use the stock cables with the bars?
