Forks - Repo or Rechrome?
philward:
I know this has been covered before but I'll ask again.
Stripping the forks on my 500k2 this weekend and was just going to drive the tubes down to Dynasurf - http://dynasurf.co.uk/ - (had a set of Jota forks that was on a CB1100 Spencer Rep I built done there several years ago and they did a good job). But spotted these - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB-500-Four-K0-K1-K2-Pipe-Front-Fork-New-Reproduction-Part-Made-IN-Japan/362742798412?hash=item547527d84c:g:CDsAAOSwEppUT6gk on Ebay this morning.
I have repo on my 750k2 and the CR Rep with no complaints and now thinking of saving the 80 mile round trip (x 2).
Anybody used these before? I know the general opinion is rechrome - is it because the repo's are inferior chrome or some other issue.
Views appreciated!

That is £112 each Phil plus post :o A lot of repro's i have seen are not hard chrome.
Just send them to Philpotts and they will pick them up and deliver back to you ;)
