Rechromed 1000r forks

#1 PostAuthor: Skid Mark » Tue Dec 27, 2022 7:16 pm

As posted previously,
I got a set of forks hard chromed and unfortunately one of them is showing exposed steel along the section that will be traveling through the seal. Long story short, the company who did the work are very sympathetic but not in a position to help anymore.
I can no longer get Hard chroming done in Ireland and don't want the hassle sending to UK and back given the trouble that I have had getting work related items serviced in UK.
Does anyone have a good pair or better yet just one good fork? Failing that where do you recommend to get forks rechromed?

Here's a link to their site, if it helps.

Can be slow (cos they're busy!), I've used them for two projects and have been very happy with the results.
