In repairing my forks, I had to replace the lower right fork due to a broken tab that the fender, and reflector bolts to. After rebuilding both forks, I noticed that the older fork had a lot of stains from dirt, brake dust, and road tar. I had considered re-painting both forks silver, but was concerned about the paint being chipped in the future. I discovered Mr. Clean MagicEraser. It was easy and fast to use. I highly recommend using it to clean the lower forks of your Swing. Don't forget to polish your lower forks after cleaning them. :lol!:
