Default Wanted:Fork Tubes SK5

Both of my fork tubes are pitted and subsequently rusting to a point that the garage will not pass the MOT due to risk of the pits popping seals, does anyone have a set of fork tubes for a SV650K5?

or know of any none OEM replacements as suzuki want £275 per fork according to the garage.

You could get them reground/replated. Around £60 a stanchion + postage.
Still a fairly good deal, as you will have "as new" parts. Just choose someone with a good reputation to do it.
