Front fork examination (Day 26)

 The question is; are my forks US or can they be retrieved?  I believe there is a process called Hard Chroming that puts a thick layer of chrome on and then the stanchion can be machined back to original size.  Sounds costly.
 This looks bad to me but most of the pitting I think is above the line where the fork seals would come to on full compression (heavy breaking perhaps).
 I think this was a fixing for some klind of windscreen.  The bike never had a full fairing.  But Dad did have a wind shield.
 Reflectors are in good shape.
 Badge is good too.
