You could get the stanchions rechromed.

on the tarozzi website it says that the dtr/re stanchions are shorter by about 30mm in length, would that cause any issues? surely id of thought it wlda been the opposite way round ie dtx =shorter stanchions dtr/re= longer stanchions ???? im gettinghg the bike upto my flat tomorrow so gonna be putting in some serious hours on it

30mm is nothing worry about. Lower ride equals lower centre of gravity. Better handling mush.

but does that sound right to you though dtx having longer stanchions than the dtr/re? i woulda assumed they have shorter ones as they have less travel
