I have a set of suspension forks that have fairly substantial wear to the stanchions.
I guess the wear is caused by poor maintenance but that's how they came to me.
Aesthetics aside has anyone had any success with giving a fork with substantial stanchions an overhaul and extending its life?
There is no major need to have to ever use the forks again just thought I would ask.

I'd check the bushings aren't worn down to the metal. One of mine did for about 1/4 of the way around, making the stantion silver and rough. A bushing swap stopped it getting much worse, though I think running it for ages obviously dry of oil having never dropped the lowers was what caused it in the first place
