were can you get forks re cromed in vic and whats the approx cost ;)
-
not too sure about Vic,
up here in brisbane RAD hardchrome can do the job for around $140 a leg with,
yes! you guessed it, HARD chrome.
i had a set done a few years back when chrome was a bit cheaper and am still happy with the job they did.

That's a good price. Tough to find anyone even willing to do it here, typically over $350 if you do(but shipping to Oz and back would kill the savings). I had a set of forks diamond polished, since they weren't too bad it worked great.
However, most of the external spring Maico forks anymore are pitted bad. I know that some use the Stainless Tubes as replacements, but to me I would rather have the correct tubing.

We now use Westrn Grinding in Adelaide , they are around the same price but grind the legs between centres , instead of centreless grinding , which can give a few problems being unround sometimes.

I use Diamond Hard Chroming in Enfield, Sydney ((02) 9642-0513) I got my Ceriani legs done for $350 or so. Very happy with the result.
Diamond Hard Chroming did my 35mm Marzocchi's for $280 which include a slight straighting (about 1mm).
A pleasure to do business with ;) ;D 8)
