83 GT Cruiser - Couple of changes
« on: April 22, 2012, 03:17 PM »
Sat in today looking at my freshly painted forks so made a few tweaks.......

Got hold of a set of original 83 GT forks a few months back and as they were powdered and not chrome decided to get them sprayed up a candy blue colour, anyway swapped them over and changed the zap pads around and now have this summers rider  8)

Don't think i'm 100% happy with it but it'll do for now

How it was.......



How it is now.......

I think I do actually agree with the silver forks looking better but as they are not GT the new ones will be staying and i'll probably have a play about with some other parts, maybe polish up the wheels too  8)

Think I might need to remove the pads though and just leave blank as they are not doing it for me  :-\ :-\

Thanks for all the comment though  :daumenhoch:

I can see why you went down the blue fork route


Greg Hill often rode em











Better now than having snide forks Daley  :daumenhoch: ,, it would do my head in  :crazy2:  :daumenhoch:


It wouldn't be big bucks if you decided to eventually chrome them at a later date  ::)



Great build mate  :coolsmiley:

Totally agree with Christian here Dale. I would rather have the blue GT forks than the others.

I think maybe the 20's carry the blue forks off better as the chrome decal covers a bit more.
You have a lot more blue on show on the cruiser forks so it doesn't have the same proportion.
Still prefer them though. :coolsmiley:

Love it   :smitten:

The blue forks give it a proper BITD look along with the other parts you've used   :daumenhoch:
