    This video was super detail and well made. THANK YOU.
    1. What coating did you use on your forktubes and shock shaft?
    2. Does the coating you used, reduce "friction" or mainly for cosmetic look?
    3. If it does reduce friction, could you please let me know where was it done and how much each item cost to do?
    Thanks

    High pressure hydraulic sealant would work really well on this application (acts like a medium strength loctite)

    Hey bud is your contest still open for contestants? Also this was the video that helped me to commit to removing the lugs on my 125 to get them dlc coated. Just did my first leg today and it came out successful. You’re an awesome instructor. BTW: KYB’s are supposed to be a little tougher than Showa because the lock nut stubby is very brittle. Either way thanks for the help! To the PVD factory I go!
