Hi, does anybody know, would a jb weld repair on a small pit in the fork leg satisfy the M.O.T. in the UK?
I can always do the repair and then stick gaiters on, I've had so many poorly chromed/ground fork legs that I've come to the decision to get an old pair ground and hard chromed, any recommendations for this service in the UK? what finished o.d. should I be asking for, or would it be better to send new top bushes and seals along with them. cheers Paul.

, I've had tubes from the owners club, RGM, A.N. and they've all pitted in short time ie. a couple of riding seasons, the late great John Robert Bould was well aware of the problem and told me he used tubes from a firm called Vellocette, not the motorcycle firm, I bought these on good advice and yes they have lasted the longest (since the originals), but are now starting to develop a couple of tiny pit holes in one fork leg. The problem seems to be that they are never finally ground to a smooth enough finish, the ones from the owners club were almost as corse as one of my round files in my toolbox! They seem to have a more satin or dull look to them when I hold them up to my Jap bikes in the garage, which are exposed to the exact same treatment and abuse as the Commando but don't give issue with the forks. Good luck buying new, but I feel I've learned the hard way, I do like the look of D.L.C.!
