Part Code: 44013-1003

Needed to replace a heavily pitted set on my Z1000H.

Early tube's are easy to replace with pattern parts, anything from the Z1000A2 onwards is a bit harder. Try Hard Chrome Plating & Grinding.

I've used 'em several times, excellent work, just never quite as quick as they'd have you believe.

gb where are they situated
their address says kingsmill way ( literally around the corner from me ), but, their map shows them at boughton camp ( an old industrial estate/army base at ollerton).

I think i'll go looking tommorrow.

I think they may have gone through 'the hoop' and started up again as 'Hard chrome plating', where they were previously trading as 'Hard chrome plating & grinding'.
That's probably why there's a conflict with the address. Might be worth a phone call?
I have used them in both guises, excellent work on both occasions.

Sounds good to me - I have a tiny bit of pitting on the top of both fork legs that I'd like to get sorted - do you recommend them for exhaust down pipes and general chroming as well? Got a few other bits to sort and already contacted 'Quality Chrome' in Hull but haven't seen any reviews - do you know of anyone that's used them?

I doubt they will do exhaust pipes, or general chroming. I use Mikey for chrome plating.

Nice one - thanks mate

thanks for the posts gents. any guide prices for restoration of fork tubes?

Ballpark £200 with the postage each way will cover it .

Those Tarozzi fork tube's will probably work out cheaper, as long as the postage isn't a killer.

I had 2 sets of H1 tubes done at Philpot's for £300 the lot.

Thanks for the responses. I ended up ordering a pair of Tarozzi fork tubes from Wemoto which were delivered next business day.

Unfortunately Philpots seem to have some issues....not sure what issues, probably overloaded with work......they have had my zx7r forks for 6 weeks now
