That's the only thing that gets me. I miss the black fork tubes on my '06. They revised the fork tubes for '08 and don't know if the '06's will fit in my triple clamps, if I were to come across some.

well I doubt it if one of the improvements was handleing...

you can always try painting a set... if it doesn't work or looks like crap... send them off to be powdercoated... but I'd only do a spair set... so incase they fuck something up... your not out riding time

Plenty of info on home anodizing out there.

Here is a link to one I found with a quick search. I did this to a set of rims for a dirt bike once.
