Bike with rust on forks

[Banditbandit]

Looking at buying a 2nd hand CB250 though the forks are speckaled with rust spots though it's 2 years old. I think they'll come off with a wire brush, but maybe i should stay away as thats bad after 2 years?? It is based close to the sea.

I had the staunchions on a Honda rechromed. They'd pitted up with stone chips and were damaging the seals. The staunchions were re-rolled and rechromed ... There's a place in Hamilton, I think, that does it. Cost me around $800 at the time (last century) ...

I'd be inclined to flag this one ... uless it is real cheap ..
