So the stock forks i have look to be suffering from some really bad rust pitting above the oil seals. I'm assuming this will cause some leaks but they're only sparse except for below where the steering head mounts.
Is it possible to fit what i assume is xs650 forks on (35mm in diameter vs 33mm on xs400) I have a like new pair with oil seals i can put together but this would mean strecthcing out the steering head mounts so not sure if the bolts will thread in nicely . would this also cause issues with the front wheel? I know there's no fender mounts on the non stock ones but i can make something work down the line.
If this is only cosmetic maybe i could just throw those big fork gaiters on top? Bikes gonna be mostly black anyways.
