Hello, I'm a new member and proud owner of a 1970 Suzuki T250. This is my first restoration project with the main aim to gain mechanical knowledge and maintain a classic. My first issue I have with the bike is rust on the front forks and have been told that I could either re-chrome or look for a replacement set. What are the pros and cons to re-chroming and where could I possibly find replacement front forks either on the internet or in the Melbourne area? If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to share. thanks |

If you use T20 conrods and pistons, the rods are lighter at the little end, and less likely to break.The gudgeon pin and bearing size is smaller. The skirts of the pistons are wider near where they cover the inlet port, so the port can be widened more. |

How's the restoration going? I'm specifically looking for a T250. Let me know if you ever want to sell. Cheers. Shaun |

Re chroming might be the best way to go. It isn't cheap but the end product, when done properly, will be better than second hand forks.
Rad Hard Chroming 07 3277 0412 and A1 Hard Chrome 02 9648 5299 would be worth talking to.
Remember, it is HARD CHROME you want, not decorative chrome. |

you need to find someone who has new 'old stock' of suzuki parts. Max Engellener of Mad Max Parts might be able to help you. Look in Just Bikes Magazine for his contact details. |
