We're did you find those neo?
I've asked Graeme France for some prices and I'll keep an eye out for any forks anyone has for sale.

Allbike Engineering make new tubes if you want to go down that route, alternatively, look in the back of Classic Mechanics for adverts on re-chroming

I'll contact ABE to see how much they charge per leg and see if it's worth doing myself or giving them to someone else to do.

Re: Fork pitting opinions and advice.
I looked at having mine done, www.pittedforks.co.uk and one other lot (one of which is the company Kev mentioned) both charge circa £140-150 for a pair.
I sold a set of GF ones which i had off Paul Aldridge for £150 recently, they were almost perfect. They were bought for the little RWB NC I had but decided not to keep.
On my Type 7 I used some epoxy resin the fill the nicks, most were out of the seal travel anyway, but as other have said going this route may well last a good while and so long as the forks old oil that's what really matters

Re: Fork pitting opinions and advice.
Have a look in the general discussion section about ABE. I don't think I'd be speaking to them.
What about staying local and speaking with PLR or even Belfast Honda and see who they'd use.
