rechoming fork tubes is a specialist operation.
The tubes need to be verified straight and then the pitts are removed by removing the material in a centreless grinder.The tubes then get a hard chrome finish to the original size and then polished.
Google "Forking by Frank "
probably a better deal

Google "Forking by Frank " probably a better deal I sent forks out and they did all this for less money and less hassle than Forks by Frank(god bless him) He has great products but the whole pay by money order and shipping times kills it for me. |
