What do you think about these fork tubes?
« on: December 06, 2010, 12:23:42 PM »
Both of 'em are pitted like this. Is that something critical? Is there an easy way to remove the pitting, or should I look to replace? What do y'all think? BTW - not SOHC4 I know....  :)

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

If the pitting goes all the way down it will wear your seals.  Get a new (or good used) set, pitting is in the chrome.

Try some fine steel wool and wd40 and see what they look like when your done. My old zuki forks were worse looking than that when I started. They polished up perfectly with no pits.
