it would probably cost more to get them re chromed than it would to buy new from z power

if its at the top and doesn't cause fork oil to bypass the seal when the suspension is fully compressed, you might get away with it - did on my Z1000 which had just very small bit of pitting on 1 fork.

or i've heard there is something like liquid metal you 'pour' into the pitting, but dont know anything else about.
