Forks question ???

(1/3) > >>

cb750stu:
Hi Folks my forks have some quite bad scratches and gouges on the fork bottoms just wondering if i can fill these with some kind of filler then sand smooth ??
These will be getting painted eventually does anyone know of a good filler ??
I have heard of Metal Set is this any good !!!

Regards
Stu

kifer:
I would use any filler suitable for ally, did the bottoms on my VFR just wanted to cheer them up without to much fuss brushed on silver hamerite flatted then another coat and flatted again ended with 2000 grit could not believe the finish I ended up with look
almost new and all from what was already in the shed. Cheers Tom.

LesterPiglet:
I've fixed pitted forks with araldite and they lasted for ages. I'm sure it will stick just as well to the bottoms.

cb750stu:
Yeah i never thought of Araldite ive got loads of the stuff i think i will give it a go tonight !!!!

Cheers

Waggles:
Would have thought any proprietry body filler would do the job, consider opening gouges up a bit to give sufficient area to bond to. Think I will be painting mine too eventually ( too busy riding it at the moment  :) ) as the alloy is not the best and I can't get rid of marks that are actually in the alloy
