I want to ride that bike tomorrow and it's all I had. What could go wrong?
As far as I know magnesium would corrode and eventually fail if left raw. So that is no option.
Looks alright to me.

It probably won't last long. But it will do for a day. Then, if you have time, sand it down properly, clean it with alcohol and then prime and paint it with spray paints suitable for metal. You can also get them at Hornbach for 5-8€ a can.

You might think that.
It's a MZ Bomber Z2 Race -ETA-, though
ETA is a system that locks out the fork while also reducing the travel, by the flip of a lever on top of the left fork leg.
I've got a video of that on here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CfENyAjMdTX/

Fair enough, just doesn’t look ‘right’.

True.
I had never used this system prior to riding this fork and thought it to be a bit silly.
But it's actually a pretty cool feature. And it makes sense on this fork, as it is so very active.

Current owner built it with his nephew for him to use. I‘m fairly certain he is not going to sell it.
