Ok I give up, you will never see the progress!!!!!!!!!! Time for a beer, and start taking front forks off. This computer crap pisses me off.

Damn I just reposted this, didn't see Not a lib fixed it for me. Swing arm after the tennis elbow gets better from the forks. These cleaned up nicely, I am amazed how much better they look. Don't you agree Not a Lib? Did have that beer earlier and mounted the forks and blue spots. That was easier than posting the damn pics.
