Re: '73 CB250 - 'Rustic Racer' conversion.
I took the forks off to give the lowers a cleaning and slight polish.
Whilst I had the forks off, I checked the condition off the stancions. Towards the top they are pretty badly pitted and rusted. Below the lower clamp, the surface seems to have no pitting, just a little patch of rust.
You can see in the pictures where the lower clamp is positioned on the forks, and how below this point (the fork travel section) is in ok condition.
Would it be ok to keep the forks like this and maybe just spray and clean the rust up for aesthetics?
