Quick question regarding the chrome on forks wearing away...
Discussion
Rebuilding forks on the 93 zxr750 i'm restoring. I've heard they are bad for this, but does the chrome wearing off where the seals are going to effect the seal between the new seals and the fork leg?
There's no pitting, deep scratches on the legs, just really fine scratches which i'll be prepping, the usual thing. Thanks!

Hard to show on pic but here goes. This is after a quick rub with 1200 grit wet and dry. Bush were were like new, and the oil was was pretty fresh looking which surprised me.
You can't feel any scratches with your nails, and i've done the tights test! :-) Very light pitting, which i never saw before.
You can see the bronze patch faintly in the pic.

I agree. With the forks in bits already, the relative cost of doing it now, will be recouped when you (if you) ever sell it, as a job that will cost someone £300 to £500 in future can be done now for £100.
£100 for what? Can't be rechroming, prices are 150+ for a pair, new stanchions 150-200.Might go for new stanchions, thanks for the replies!
