Also herd of a company called sputtek that does it. Rg3 probably doesn't even do it in house they probably send it out. Both are local though

lol $999 to do a set of forks?
Is that the complete set of forks or just the chrome steel part?

No idea, there are about a thousand other things I'd spend my money on before I'd get that done, but it seems like Johnny has an unlimited budget for his builds

It's actually for me, he's powder coating my forks amongst other things in black so I asked him if he can do the chrome tubes as well...
Can't powder coat them, can't anodize them, the only solution is DLC... Which is ****ing expensive!!!
For anybody whose looking to get this done, you can get them for $225/each (chrome part only) at DLC Company in Vaughn.

Up to 24 inches long.

Its not unlimited I just spend what money I have on bikes, other people have other hobbies and habits to feed, where as I just do bikes....
Im not going to pay $1000 just for DLC thou, Id rather put in more and get aftermarket forks at that point...I had a set done years ago in like 04 and it cost me $400, it wasnt black thou, more like a purple...I was hoping for a cheaper source, for Mina and myself....If it was around $300 Id do my set also...
You can kinda see them here

Thats what I suggested a set of 06 GSXR 1000 forks would be cheaper, and should slide right in

Can't you just get new fork tubes from racetech in whichever colour you want?

New? As in from the dealer? Each leg alone with a bottom is $650 each...
The only year not listed on their site is his year 06-07....And even so they want $421 each each for black ones anyways...That double what he can have his coated for locally..
Ok well not "new" but unscratched used.
Can you PM me the local shops contact info?
Mina posted it, its in Vhaughn, but they can only do 24" so MX bikes forks will not be able to fit

$450 isn't too bad, but by the time you add up the cost of powder coating, dlc, new seals, oil, rebuilding the forks... Etc I'm guessing your probably looking at close to $1000, getting close to the same price as a 30mm ohlins kit. Doesn't look as "cool" but everyone got their own likes...
