For less than the price of replacement stanchions, Philpotts in Luton can straighten and re-chrome including collection and delivery. I've had 2 sets of stanchions re/chromed and they're very good. Check them out www.pittedforks.co.uk

I agree with Philpotts as there are at least 3 different types of leg and you have to get the right ones.
Also read the manual and check the parts book BUT do not take them as gospel as misprints happen(especially Haynes) and according to Honda there are 4 gear change forks!!! DUH. I am getting older and slower, just like my 'puter soanswers take longer but they will get there.
On your nicely painted frame and brackets, make sure that the coating is removed to bare metal where the earth cable goes(and the engine side) plus where the coils mount there should be a small ground lead where the coating also needs to be removed or you will melt the loom

can you guys slow down with your restorations please!! i'm still at the collecting bits and listing stage. nice work though.
UK Pete:
I know exactly what you mean pete
MarkCR750:
Another benefit of having the forks restored is that you get a far thicker layer of chrome which resist corrosion and wear better than OEM.
PS do you know how much lighter the Dresda frame is?.
