Can i used acf on fork stantions? (above the travel length). my old gpz has a bit of rust/pitting happening on the top half of the stantion Sad

You can use ACF anywhere on the outside of the bike except the braking surfaces and tyres.

I would suggest not putting it on the saddle, handgrips and exhaust but it won't actually damage them if you do.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles.

Definitely you can put it on the stanchions, above or on the travel length. It kept my Chinese fake-away pristine when I've seen some examples with shocking corrosion and flaking.

Fork tubes or gaiters FTW, of course. Function over fashion.

You're fine to put it on but it's just going to burn off. It does appear to reduce oxidation though, so if you've got any corrosion showing it should help a little with that before it burns off.
