Yamiya ones are OK .. there is a slight change in one of the retaining clip grooves though. Saisei can order in for you.

Agree with Trigger though Philpotts is probably the best option. Don't agree with him on rechroming the top nuts though... I saw some on their stand at Stafford and they looked horrid.... maybe a one-off but would you really display ones like that at a show?

That's not a problem, as I have a pair of old ones from a early K that he can have. If he wants to go down that route  ;)

Nothing wrong with my shiny nuts that Philpot did, I always throw the rear wheel spindle at them, when I have me forks and nuts done  ;)

Cheers for the replies fellas. I was originally thinking of buying new ones as opposed to rechroming as the price wouldn’t be that much different I thought. I’m actually gutted I can’t do something with the oversize stanchions I have here as the chrome is in good nick. Annoyingly my K6 forks (standard length) are the same but the fork lowers on the k1 have a slightly wider internal diameter so using them went out the window.

What sort of state are the ones you have there Trig? Would they need a lot of prep doing to them prior to getting them rechromed.

Also what’s the going rate for rechroming stanchions these days, about £140 odd?

They are old stanchions but, no prep work needed. Philpots will reverse chrome them. check for trueness and they will look like a new pin by the time they have finished with them >>>>> http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,8027.msg52179.html#msg52179
