Keeping this in view, how do you restore aluminum on a motorcycle?Use a high-pressure water nozzle to wet the bike, covering all aluminum surfaces. Use a mild dish-washing soap, bucket and detailing brush to clean the aluminum surfaces, removing all road grime — mud, oil and dirt. Thoroughly rinse the parts with clean water.Likewise, what are motorcycle forks made of? Fork tubes are steel. You can not anodize steel. You also can not powder coat fork tubes either because the bushings ride up and down on them. You can coat the fork tubes with hard chrome, shinny polished chrome (not recommend), DLC (Diamond Like Carbon), and Titanium nitride (TiN). Thereof, can you paint motorcycle forks? You could paint the forks and triples while they are on the bike. Take off the front wheel, guard, bars, headlight, etc then mask up the fork lowers and frame. Seriously, it may sound ghetto, but it will probably look the best in the end. You can paint them and reinstall them with no issues.How do you fix pitted Forks? Here’s a cheap fix I tried that works. Use either an araldite or another epoxy resin. I used 1200 grade wet/dry only and a lot of elbow grease. You probably (with luck) will not need to take the forks off. Use something like a sanding block with the wet and dry as using hands and fingers has a tendency to recess the pits while you sand.
