                Firstly are they actually damaged, or have you not installed the seals correctly.

                Secondly, you can have your fork stanchion replated if it is pitted, it will be substantially less than the link provided.

                      Personally sounds like the company you got to do it isn't very competent.

                      If they were that pitted they should have told you before completing the work.

                      I would dismantle them myself and examine them. If they are bad you can have them rechromed.

                      Otherwise I would just buy a genuine oil kit (should be quite expensive) then rebuild them using genuine products.

                      Make sure you use Gaitors or seal savers, and you should be good to go.
