Bloody hell !!! Tank off, emptied fuel (if you could call it that), rust coloured and about the same consistency of orange juice!! Rusted to hell inside, have to wait until the new year for rust treatment stuff to arrive. There's orange gunge around the fuel pump will give you an idea of colour. Started on the stanchion, gonna be a long job, Will remove them from the bike once the bits below the bottom yoke are in a decent state. Happy New Year :rolleyes:
Where are you ?
If your in the uk A.M.Philpots can rechromed them no problem.
If not in the uk there might be somewhere near you that could as mine were worse than that before getting 're done.
Have a look here as a good clean of fuel pump and both high and low pressure filters and the fuel lines.
If the tank's got rust in the even after it's been treated put an inline filter on the low pressure line from the back of the tank to the pump.
Good luck.

Gramahir, man you have some work to do. Wishing you all the good luck possible. I agree with above about forks, dont look that bad in pics, i know sometimes worse in real life.
:facepalm: Oh no! This is bringing back memories...http://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?topic=2808.0
As Seth has mentioned if you are in the UK Philpots do a superb job on the forks; http://www.pittedforks.co.uk/
Good luck, I'm sure you'll get there, especially with any help you may need, you'll find it on this very friendly forum :onya:
Thanks guys, will look into having the forks chromed, and the in-line fuel filter? Never crossed my mind, but makes perfect sense.
