Just got this reply if your thinking about it

Hello Scott

We thank you for your enquiry requesting a price to hard chrome and grind your motorcycle forks back to their original size.

If the forks are stripped down to two tubes only the cost would be £156.00 which also includes collection, delivery (UK mainland) and VAT.

We do however offer a second service whereby the whole legs are sent and we break them down, hard chrome, grind and rebuild them fitting new fork seals and oil etc. We inspect internal components bushes, dust seals etc. and if any parts are worn we will advise to enable you to source new ones whilst we are rechroming and grinding your fork stanchions. These parts are normally OEM and you usually have to purchase from main dealers, who can send them direct to us. The total price for this complete breakdown amounts to £250.00 which again also includes collection, delivery (UK mainland) and VAT. If you require your bottom sliders polished or powder coated this would cost an additional £75.00.

Once you are ready to proceed just contact us by 10.30am and we can book a collection for your forks to be picked up.

Normal turnaround time is usually about four weeks. Any further queries do not hesitate to contact me again.
Regards

I've come across these but unsure as they have 4 holes in the bottom. Does anyone know if these are supposed to be the early type as my later types have two holes, but it may be generic picture. They also do some nice gold ones but for the CBR400!

For the cost differance id stick to original honda providing they are straight and true!

Looks like a good service they offer!

Titanium nitride coating will be so much expensive. much more than the chromium coating. id say at least 2 or even 3 times more expect about 500 for TiNi

Yes, but it looks 10 times funkier (IMHO). When I get my new (to me) forks on Friday, I'll have a spare pair that need rebuilding and rechroming. I'd be tempted if it's not stupid expensive....
