Z1000 FORK LOWERS

#1 PostAuthor: z1000puddin » Wed Feb 04, 2015 7:32 am

GUYS,
My black zed has powder coated fork lowers.

I want to put them back to "near enough" standard.

Is it best to have them sent down to Mikey for a polish
(But ask him not to put such a high polish finish ??)

Or were the originals painted ??
