Chaqdders 87 recently ask me if I had received the front fork upgrade kit and I was pleased to tell him, YES, and I also took delivery of a second Duke that I painted the "Italian Red" using the paint I decanted from the spray can, this allows the paint to 'degas' as if you try to use it straight after decanting the paint, you get a heap of bubble form all over what you just sprayed.
After the paint is degassed, (rest it for at least two hours), I then put it through my Iwata eclipse air brush as I have better control over the flow rate than using a can !
Now, the fork upgrade kit has it all, and some.
You get the main legs and the black oil seal ring, plus, the oil resevor for the rear Olins shock, then there are the 12 metal "isolator" inserts for the front disk rotors, AND, the two (curved) rubber boots nipple covers for the gas struts on top of the forks at the steering head.
I well post some of the build here but I wont bore you to death with millions of pics, just the ones I think matter.
