RZ500 Fork Stancions pitted.....options??

#1 Post by Orlando7 » Fri May 28, 2021 10:54 pm

What options do I have?
Apparently re chroming difficult because there is a plastic bit inside??
Is there any decent repops that would let me keep it standard ie anti dive etc.
Thanks

I have used Tarozzi in the last 3 bikes with no issues - ebay, or direct purchase from factory.
