it costs loads to get your fork stauncions rechromed i got quotes for Â£200 these guys http://www.lm-spares.co.uk/acatalog/index.html do a replacement kit new stauncions,seals,oil i think there about Â£170 get em re built like new, or get a set on ebay they seem to go for about Â£80-120 you could try ams motorsport Â£180 ish.
