Yes, although they farm it out to someone else. It's the first time I've had anything polished I usually do it myself but they've done a much better job than I could have. One of the fork lowers had some deep marks in which although they haven't come out fully are nowhere near as bad.

I agree, I was concerned about the depth of the corrosion but they reassured me, apparently in all the years they've been rechroming pitted forks they have only had a handful that were beyond repair.
The fork top nuts have come out really well, they were really chewed up and marked...look new now!

after a bit of a delay in things due to unforeseen circumstances, I have got my cam and primary chains ,gaskets and seals sorted...I'm probably using the existing bearings as they seem OK...im just unsure about the chain tensioners. Should I just replace them as a matter of course? The wheels and guide seem to be in OK condition but they are 47 years old??
Nurse Julie:
They may look ok but the rubber bits will probably be hard and brittle so best to change them as you are there.

Yes..I suppose I answered my own question there...thanks for the reply 👍
