where/how to get leaky fork tubes rechromed/refinished/whatever???

[lockard666]

my inner fork tubes need refinished/rechromed/whatever... new seals won't stop the leaking... there are minor pits & scuffs that i think are ruining new seals after a few bumps... "forks by frank" or whatever it's called isn't currently manufacturing forks for a '91 gsxr 1100... i'd rather not buy a set from ebay, because i think i'll just be buying the same problems... is it possible to get mine rechromed/refinished?... what are my options?

Fast from the Past sells new tubes, but I don't know what models exactly. I DO know however, they are $$$.

It would probably be easier and better value for money to source an entire front end off a Hayabusa than getting your existing forks re-built (I assume it's a USD front end??)

Have you looked into spray welding? Try contacting a CAT dealer, I bet they do it. (I have no idea how much it costs though.)
