    @tdr125greg Sure looks sweet there bud, I love the polished ali look myself and would keep it all that way! Not sure if you said it before but are you going for the SM look or not? That bike with high mudguards would look unique and much like a CRF me thinks. 👍

      @tdr125greg Too true, you can protect polished stuff with ACF50, which does a cracking job of protecting it for-sure;

      But hey I hear what your saying with the powder coating and at least your sticking with the silverish theme. I'm sure she will look sweet once your done and be unique as I said before. 😉

                        @gareth_iowc I was wondering if alloy is good.

                          @Zrako It's going to be softer than steel, the head stock can take a battering as well, it's under some levels of force. But I'd imagine it would be fine. After all the aprilia is an Alloy Frame/Headstock.

                          So it should be up to the task fine.

                            @Calum yeah thats sounds about right but also alloy frames have pressed steel inserts in them. Well , will turn one as I get the forks 😄
