replating forks

[R6_kid]

What is the process involved and is it expensive? I have a set of RWU forks with extensive rust ABOVE the area of fork travel but getting very close.

dont know, but folks at classic bikes will ( uk magazine )
also, there is a shop beside amps in kyber pass who would be able to do it, but you would have to supply them with the bare forks and instructions.

expensive

i had a set done a while back for a DT 125 i restored.

unless theyre from an irreplaceable classic,look for a new or used pair.

these guys managed to turn the smallest bit of my forks and sort them out.

but i do know they can grind hard crome and regrind to origanal size.

you may need to discuss your finish with them.

Engine Components at Hamilton Airport. Average cost for a set of forks runs around $400 IIRC. So check on cost of replacement tubes (new or from wreckers) and then make the call... :)
