Why not get them rechromed?

Its something I would do if it was a bit cheaper. Expensive.

Tree's what you doing this in the garden?

I think Its American jargon, something about Tripple Trees................

We call them Top and bottom Yokes this side of the pond!

Now it's anorak time, eh? Alright then.

Yokes are what forces oxes to pull a plough.

In my neck of the woods we call fork yokes - litteraly translated - fork bridges.

Now I pass this on to the architects in charge...

Philpotts might not be cheap but their work is excellent, and the chrome now is more hard wearing than oem, dependant on expected ownership length of said bike could be a better viable way to go.

This is only my opinion

hi how cheap do you want back in the 80s we used epoxy resin to fill the pits then turn them in the yokes to hide the repair [bodge] if we were flush we would fit gaters to hide them you can laugh but it worked

My "cough" Impulse has pitted forks. Tried to ignore it, but new seals just gave up soon after fitting. I rubbed my forks down with some really fine wet and dry and just took the edges of the pitting down a bit. Think i filled the holes a bit with epoxy first as well. Fingers crossed, it has held up ok. No leaking.

If the legs smooth and the seals still go then you probably need to replace the top bushes, if these are worn the seals won't last long.

I agree with kiwi k.

I used Philpotts for my Kat forks.
They did an excellent job. Five years on and there still like new.
Send your new fork seals with the stanchions and they machine them to fit.
