You have two options.....paint the forks, or get some R6 forks and brakes (as I believe the pre '07 brakes will not work) I vote for R6 forks but if you are ballin' on a budget a decent spary can paint job wouldn't be too bad. make sure you take pics!

The R6 forks look stunnin' on an 06 faster red.

Of course some people have painted their silver forks, or swapped to the black 07+ forks/brakes.

Originally my 06 had a black frame & silver forks, then i painted the forks black, then i changed my forks to the 08 black forks....so i could use the 08 4 pot brake calipers...my calipers are actually off an R6.

I too want to paint my forks black, but how? What brand/color/type of paint? What kind of prep work do I need to do?
