View attachment 194070 Hi all, have taken the forks out on the 999 - pretty old now and much to my surprise under the yoke clamps the aluminium has corroded considerably, it's swelled and sintered, made it difficult to get them out. Also corroded black in parts on the road facing side. I would like to restore the factory finish- they were lacquered once and looks like lathe turning rings. How do I get this lacquer off and retain the factory finish .? All the 'you tubers' are disappointing, then don't pay attention to the detailed ali surface, They seem to just polish them to smooth, cheers for any tips.. View attachment 194071
They are anodized.The coating gets chipped,allowing water in.Corrosion then starts inside out.Refinishing to factory would be a pain,to say the least.
