How did you go about painting it? How long did it take? Did you sand and strip the black off before or paint over it? And what kinda paint did you use? Sorry for all the questions but in the process of painting my 725 also. Thanks man, and very nice bike by the way.

I used paint thinner, basically sprayed it on waited 30 mins and brushed away with a paint scraper, i took 2 full days to take of all the paint, than I bought black primier and than magenta spray can, coated it with primier twice in one day, than next day twice with the magenta. overall completely done in one week. And awesome 725 love :)

Looks good. The fork doesn't look "bad" it's just a different rake than a track fork . This increases your wheel base and makes it less twitchy than if it had the proper rake fork . Do you notice that the steering on this bike isn't quite as sensitive as say, your khs flite which had a mtaching track fork ?

The frame doesn't sit right on that fork. That's my opinion. Try getting a matching Leader fork. Like the matte black one. It just fits better. (:
