I got the forks out today, they were in there. I had to pound them out with a small sledge hammer, and there was corrosion all over the top, under the headlight ears, SO i began sanding them down,

As you can see left to right, there is a lot of corrosion, but suprisingly, where the boot covers and the fork slips in and out, is not pitted or rusted at all, the seals seem to be just fine. And the one gator was filled with water, presumably for years. It's amazing that the seals are ok.
So I'll sand em and paint em, And be one step closer to reconstruction.
