I just picked up a 2006 2.9 Sherco

In reasonable condition, a fork stanction does have some damage. If it was chrome, I would know were to go, but it is back coated...teflon?? Where can I get it repaired...

God only knows what that black finish really is, yet I suspect some plasma/vacume applied tungston technology from Paioli!

i fixed it...sold

I thought most of the goldish colored fork coatings was titanium nitride. I had thought that the darker chrome coloring was boron nitride. I believe that both materials are selected because they are super hard and that they accomplish this hardness by approximating the atomic structure of diamond. Anyone know?

Yip. The gold and rainbow coloured forks are a vacuum flash vapor deposited coating of titanium reacted with nitrogen all over the top of hard chrome plating. The TI coating mimics a very hard ceramic surface. I never knew the dark coating was boron... is it the same as the black chrome exhausts of years ago?
