    @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 😄
