Fork tubes, cast or billet?

[J41780]

Planning on anodizing the fork tubes on my GT and also getting the ohlins cartridge kit.
The plating company wants to know if the forks are cast or billet.

Normally it is billet
If possible have them use a In-organic dye for anodizing.
Most gold tone are inorganic. This hold up really well and does not fade
Black anodizing tends to be organic and if they use the cheap stuff they will turn purple eggplant quickly
If you are doing black see if they have the Very hard anodizing. If it fades it goes to a dark gray which is sort of nice
both can be polished to a ceramic finish

We use Danco here in Socal and they are the best
We do all our FLEDA tail light Plates

and our Gauge lowering brackets here in Balck and gray and the black stays very black

They also did our Aella Damper brackets in inorganic gold


a set of forks runs about $375 more or less FOR THE PAIR

BTW
Our custom made factory Ohlins forks for the sport classic will be coming out very soon
Upgraded valving and ti-nitirde lower forks. Schwing!

Nice, just when I thought that I am pretty much done modding, "poof", you drop this little piece of info .

I'll be watching this thread a little closer now .
