Hello all,
I have the whole fork assembly off of my Rally I'm renovating. I need to get it powder coated. I was wondering how much I need to break it down for the powder coater to get to work
Ive taken the front damper off so far and thats it. Im guessing the spring (which is also going to be PC'd) can come off and be done seperately.

The wheels are to be done the same colour, so do they need to come off as well, with the dangley brake mech.
Thanks
Kevin

Everything would need to be stripped down to single components really.

Don't forget the fork /link bearings and plug the hole ,remove the lower race and don't coat where it sits. Open up the cable holes in the fork leg or you may never get the cables back in.

Thanks
