Solutions needed

[beatup]

I popped into the honda people today to find out why my forks were pissing oil.
Chrome is shot and doesn't seal.
So the options are a rechrome - bike off road for 2-3 weeks at $145 a leg (why that length of time no idea)   or newbie Honda bits at $280 a leg.
Will have to do a web trawl and see what out there.
Any site suggestions?
Anyway leaks or no it's off down to inverell. Arms are good shock absorbers.

Just top off the forks with the 80-90 oil left over from the last diff oil cange, that should slow the leak down a bit.

RAD in Brisbane do fork rechroming (as well as shock rebuilds), so you may be able to ring them up and get it done directly.  Once enough oil has leaked out, no more leaks!

just weld up the tops...... it'll be a be rough but hey no more leaks

Why is the chrome shot? it's decent quality on the forks. Maybe neoprene fork gaiters would be a good investment which ever way you decide to go.

Have you tried this yet?

I can get you replacement upper cylinders for about $260 each but Honda AU is out of stock so they'd be ex-japan which equates to about a 2 week wait anyway.

Be care full  with RAD. others have had trouble with them doing rear shocks. Mine leaked staight away and i had to send it back for a 2 week turnaround. polite enough when i rang but I feel it should have been OK first up.
