It’s an interesting look- I have the NOS brand neoprene ones on mine to keep the fork clean and devoid of bugs and stone divots so I don’t get a fork seal leak. I’d like to see it with those on and the bodywork back on as well.

WILL DO!! and yes that was the main objective here to keep the forks clean and devoid of bugs and stone divots so I don’t get any fork seal leaks, some will say what are the chances I say why take the chance? LOL

I installed fork gators on mine. The neoprene/ velcro kind. Installed them after installing new fork seals, not sure they help but can't hurt? Yours look better so carry on!

I used SealMate on my forks to clean the gunk out, one side was leaking slightly and this helped a lot. I figure the cleaning bought me 4 years but eventually I had to have the seals replaced... Good luck

That turned out nice! I assume you’re putting the front fender back on, no? What color is that (looks like a version of black)? What bike is in the 3rd pic- a Reflex?

Fender yes there are step to follow when reassembling and one is to install the fender before you put the wheel on :-( the color is black with silver specks the color is nice but the paint job HUMMMMM lets just say its not going to last long and I'm in the process of addressing that with them  Mad  as for the other bike its a Jonway sl250  reflex clone ,that was my Scooter 101 class self taught it needed work so I learnt as I when along I also added a o2 sensor and up graded the display, its runs really good but I always find myself trying to get over the 69mph mark  Laughing Laughing  the Blackswing project will satisfy that  Smile
