Rock Shox Fork travel

Bo Lind said:

Hi,

I recently bought a used Rock Shox fork. The previous
owner has spray painted it a tactical army green, he
claims it's a 2003 Pilot SL, which makes somewhat sense,
as it has an aluminum steerer, a valve for adjusting air
pressure on the top of the left leg, and rebound control
at the bottom of the right leg. Actually he claimed it was
a 2002, but Rock Shox made no such fork in 2002, so it
must be 2003, or not a Pilot.

Hi, I'm sorry I can't help you, but would you be so kind to
send me a photo of this fork? I'm a bit courious of the
paintjob he made on that fork! =)

Thanks, bye!

Hi,

I don't own a digital camera, so I can't send you a picture,
but I can give you a bit of information.

It is just the fork legs that are painted. He did it himself
with some paint he bought in a store catering to grafiti-
painters, it just came in a pressurized can. It is sort of a
matte green, looks very army-ish. He sandpapered the
original surface a little bit with some extremely fine
grained sandpaper, as to make tha paint stick, and so far it
looks good, and doesn't chip and such. He didn't disassemble
the fork, just covered up the vital bits with masking tape
and went to work.

He had also painted his entire frame the same color.
