Powder coating lower forks

Hi fella,

I had my TBS forks powder coated. Paint stripped the laquer off to the bare metal then went for it!

A nice mat black now matching the top and bottom yokes.

When they came back from the shop i sprayed WD40 into the brass screw and gently turned it clockwise and anti-clockwise to lube the o-ring. It sqeeked a bit at first but after a few turns it was fine. Not had any issues with leaks.(Touch wood)

10 mins @ 200 degrees C is how it was coated.

Beware of stones chipping the forward surface. You may want to apply some of that clear "Anti-erosion" tape.

Go for it!

Jase
