Im trying to make my 65 forks look better. I regret not getting inverted forks. Ive seen people paint their actual inner fork tubes, just between the triple clamps, where it wouldnt get rubbed off. anyone know how well this holds up? and also does anyone make fork guards for kx65 forks? ive been searching with no luck

you can get the inner fork tube anodized, and it wont rub off down at the bottom where it goes into the outer fork tube? pics?

Get the lower tubes anodized. You could get the top tubes ti-nitride coated. Believe it or not, the 65 forks may have a better feel to them than the inverts. If you run the manotou cartridges, they may just be better. Talk to Don at PAX. --L*64
