I just pulled each fork, set it upside down in my garage tub sink, stipped with "aircraft" stripper from Autozone, than sanded with 4-5 different grades of paper (2000 wet, the final). Than, buffed with three grades of polish on a buffing wheel. There are some casting marks around the fender lugs that you need to work out. I used a 3M Bristle disc to work those rough spots out. I hit them once or twice a year with Mothers to keep the shine up. I guess one day, maybe I'll pull and hit on the buffing wheel again.

Looks good Roadworthy! If I had spoke wheels, I'd definitely go that route. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'd really like to powdercoat 'em but I'm not sure I got the skills(or tools) to take them apart...Are there any special tools required to put these tubes back together after removing seals...Got a guy who says he'll coat the lowers and the upper shrouds for $50.00 but that was assuming they were painted and not coated originally...
