Ok so my story goes like this....

my fork seals have been leaking for about a week or 2, and i haven't had the money to do it. But now i have the money to do it then i will be doing it ASAP ( if anyone near sydney NSW wants to help me do it then ill pay for the beers food seals and oil and anything else you require )
But as you can imagine my rims are not white but now dirty and look terrible, so i need something that is gonna make them spotless but not strip the paint and i knew i could reply on good old GB to help me :)

Ohhhhh and also look out in the next month for my RVF NC35 build coming soon, getting a full make over

Ill do it!
(searches for passport,lol)
WD40 has always been good for getting wheels clean, DONT get it near discs as you will then have ABS... best squirt it into the rag first...

Are your wheels powdercoated or sprayed?

you got me excited there untill i saw the next line ahah

I think my rims are just factory standard. so how ever they come out f the factory is how they are now

Yeah I use WD then clean off with Motul Wash and Wax then a silicone spray this stops the dirt attaching next time... If the wheels are really badly chipped may be worth getting them powdercoated and starting again fresh..

As for the forks Have a crack at it yourself its a easy job just take your time, I would get on you tube and find a tutorial I doubt it will be for a RVF but the concept holds true. Hardest thing with USD forks is getting the seal in but there are a few ghetto ways to do it.. On a standard NC30 fork I can now rebuild these in about 30mins once you have done it once...

how much is a good powdercoat going to cost me?

In the UK I pay about 30 quid but that also includes blasting off all the old paint..

had a quick look, going to cost me 4o to 120 per a rim to get it powder coated, what size rim is the RVF by the way ? its a 1994 NC35

17" both front and rear.. The NC30 has a 18" rear and some people assume the 35 does also
