Hiya, this maybe a daft question but I would appreciate someones knowledge on this.
I have given my bike a good look over and I am getting small chips etc sorted on the paintwork as I like to have it looking spotless.
I have however noticed that on the left fork (Gold anodised sleeve only) I have not washed the cleaning fluid off quickly enough at some point this year and it has left little spots where the anodising has dulled, the fork itself is in perfect working order but the cosmetics are annoying me.
Can I loosen the top and bottom yoke and spin the gold sleeve around so that the dulled parts are hidden? I own a building company and when we roughcast an old house I normally spin the downpipes 180 degrees so that the sun fading on the plastic is concealed. So I thought this might be the same.
I contacted BMW yesterday and they told me the gold sleeve only is ?397 plus removing and fitting.
My Dad laughed and said I have OC/DC and to leave it. Yes he said OC/DC not a typo.
Any thoughts would be gratefully listened to.
