If it's just the fork lowers then yeah that's quite normal for SVs, well i've had that problem on all of my SVs. There are a few options to sort it
1, strip the forks apart and get the lowers powder coated
2, live with them as they are
3, polish them
4, get some spray paint from Halfords and spray them yourself

i'v done option 4 on three different SVs
