howiehowie93 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Greetings, Just unwrapped a set of Gixer 1100 USD forks I had in long term storage in my shed and found a spot of rust on the Chrome plated part - not sure the correct term for this bit on a USD Fork!!! but the slider part that goes through the Seal. Can these be repaired and any recommendations of where ?? They are part of my new front end going on my Harris - or perhaps not now!!!! regards H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 If its not too badly rusted, use some fine wet/dry paper and rub off the rust mark. It will be ok if not too badly rusted/pitted. (if you are changing fork seals, use genuine parts, as they have slightly more material on them and fit "more snug/tight" to slider, and will therefore take up any small defects.

howiehowie93 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi, got some info on another forum who suggested: HCP&G (Hard chrome plating and grinding) at newark. Close to home so I'll give them a try and see how it goes. regards H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
