Yes, there is a guy who from memory is/was just off the SH1 motorway around Penrose. However, you will need to send your forks to a precision machinist to get the old chrome ground off first. Then send them to the plater with instructions as to how much chrome you want put on. I live in Wgtn and had mine ground down here and then sent them up to Akl for the chroming. Cost was around $600 all up but that was 5 yrs ago. Sorry I cant tell you the name of the platers but he was in the yellow pages.

Have a look at http://www.wemoto.com/ they sell new stanchions
I needed re chroming on my GSXR1100 forks and found buying new was cheaper.
