The yellow spots are paint blobs marking where the seal line sits.

Yes they need sorting or they will rip seals
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That what I thought, at the moment some of the Superdream owners are fitting new Tubes fron China (wide variety of prices from £135 -£190 for a pair} others have gone for refurbs by hard chromers.
A firm named Marque Restore of Coventry have been recommended.
Sesman:
Obviously you need to be very cautious regarding replacement fork tubes. I learnt this when buying replacement stanchions for my Norton Wideline forks. The quality, and more fundamentally strength, can vary between suppliers.
Personally I’d choose hard chroming, assuming you can establish that the ones you have are originals. Is it possible to establish if the replacements on offer are equal or superior to what was fitted originally?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Wemoto sell some more expensive ones, DS appears to have stopped supplying them. CSML price is at the very top end.
I think mine are original, there was no indication they have been taken to bits previously, the seals appear to be the original they are RSA 33x4.6x11 replacements are listed as 33x4.6x10.5 everywhere I've looked.
