Wow that's very well done, I don't usually like the two tone fork idea but that is really smart, the Honda and Showa decal is the cherry on the cake.

What paints did you use?

Nice work, I plan to do similar, with silver where yours is black, and black where yours is gold

Very nice job :clap:

I had intended to do mine in two colours (silver tops and black bottoms) when I repainted them this year, but I had problems with the black paint and had to strip it off and start again. By that time I gave up and repainted them all silver.

Look forward to seeing them on the bike :thumbup:
