and my next question is.........

[nightshaddow]

i want options for my front forks......

with the bike being stood for near on 12 years there is some pretty heavy pitting on the forks and some is low down and will affect the seals,

i dont want to just chuck gators on, i want to do the job right so i was thinking new or rechroming,

problem with new is where to get them.

any ideas links or alternatives would be helpful....

Mega limited options.
There is a Dutch site https://www.cmsnl.com/ they stock some old parts.
David Silvers and more than likely your best and affordable option is E-ghey.

Not done the araldite bodge myself and heard rechroming can be expensive, that's if your stantions are exceptable i.e No deep rust.

Hard Chroming on the forks is about £150 wherever you try. We looked long and hard for Snowies project, new forks are a deleted part for the 125 Super Dream and there isn't an interchangeable on on another lightweight as far as we can find, hence only option.
Knowing Yamaha, I suspect that the stancions are possibly not unobtainable new, and may be cheaper than rechrome if you can find them, and possibility they are used on another model and interchangeable with something else. Start by trying to track down the part number and seeing what goes from it.
