So, been giving some thought to possibly vinyl wrapping my forks black. Had it on before but (foolishly) peeled it off so am now debating whether I should re-do them...
Picture taken this morning (started right away after winter in storage, woohoo!):
Blacked out forks (with Paint software):
FYI: New bars (replacing red from last year)... stealthier looking...
so, yes or no to vinyl wrapping forks?

Have you got black stanctions? That looks cool.
I like the gold but I think it depends on what look your going for.

Easy for me, I prefer function over cosmetics. Is there better performance? No. Is there more weight? Yes

well, considering I have shed about 80 lbs of weight from the bike (much of it rotating), I think I can spare 10 g of vinyl

Stay gold, it looks good on the bike, and you can overdo the black theme

Get rid of that wooden mirror extender on the right mirror first. I know you're Canadian but that's taking the lumberjack theme too far!!!

In which case it should stay
Off-topic I know, but which Renthal bars are you using Micky, low or ultra low handlebars
