Howdo good chaps of the club.
Ok so it's not a Rex question but it is bike related.
I've got the wife a little YBR125, needs some fettling.
Fork stanchions, do I go for new or re-chroming? No pits as such, just an inch long flake of chrome missing.
Thoughts please.

Well, I was going to say...it depends on how long ya gunna keep the bike , but if theres a inch long gap in the chrome, might be worth getting it done. Then get some rubber fork gators keep it clean ready for selling on later/ or using it longer.

Suppose it comes down to cost and supply too. redoing the legs is approx £160 which is less than replacements. Cheers

Old chrome would have to be stripped back before re chroming, :hmm: big choice
