[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 174766, member: 21"] Looking at those pics you might need to look for some new forks. Before buying anything you need to make sure that the forks are useable. If there is rust pitting on the chrome sliding surfaces of the fork tubes they are ruined. Those pits will tear the for seals leading to leaks. If there is pitting and it catches you finger nail as you slide it on the surface then it's no good. You also need to get all the rust from every part of the internals. Same concern for rust on any of the sliding surfaces like where the damper rod runs. If there is rust damage to a critical area then look to eBay for a replacement set. I bet that you can find one for under $100 delivered. If you are replacing consider a whole front end. You might even be able to get a front disc that way. [/QUOTE]
