hi
i would like to know off you experts which is the best way of refurbing fork stanchions. i have 4 sets of forks on and for my rg250 mk3,s and all are pitted some quite bad.
I need at least 2 pairs refurbing,which is the most cost effective method and where do you get re-chroming done or new replacement stanchions
from and roughly what sort of price am i looking at.
Any firms that you've used and had good service ?
I have now decided to keep both walter wolf's and rebuild the white and blue model over a long period (needs a lot of work) , i will need to have the crank rebuilt any ideas on price for this and good firms to do it ,not to far from my home in grimsby if poss. _________________ Riding a two stroke is sometimes like buying a one way ticket!!!!! |

Hi, this seems to be the place for fork chroming, heard it mentioned on a few forums, but not had any done myself.

Just had a YPVS crank done by Grampian motors, they quoted around £200 for full rebuild (mine came to less than this as it was low mileage, and they reused the rods) |

Try also http://www.fitforx.co.uk/ these are based 5 mins from my front door, but I have a feeling, Philpots do the work for them, mine were perfect, so get a price and go for the cheapest. _________________ Breathing new life into an old Gamma!

Hi,
I used Fitforks in Stoke on Trent. It's not a cheap process but they came back spot on and took about a week or ten days if I remember correctly.
I had my forks stripped, blasted, powder coated, new hard chrome, internals checked and replaced as necessary springs, oil and all seals etc.
Basically came back as new. Hope this helps. I also got new 'Deca piston'
stickers from Sunrise Graphics in St Annes on Sea near Blackpool.
I have also heard there is a company in Hull that can hard chrome forks, I will try and get a name and number for you.
Cheers, Rob. |
