maybe you could attach an ipod to that as it would make a good mounting point. hahah, just kidding, that has always bothered me about the cyclone forks. please post picks if it works out, i'd like to see the results. |

I did it when I polished my front fork lowers. I cut mine off with a cutting wheel then sanded the remaining material to look like they were never there. I did not take the forks apart to do this. I wrapped the portion of the fork I wasn't polishing with masking tape to protect it, stuck it in a vice, started sanding and finished with a polishing kit. Not the best close up pics, but this may help a bit..
