Hey all, over the years, the bottom of the forks of my '99 tourer have become dull and looks like there are spots on the metal(aluminum?). Any ideas on how to shine them back up and take off those spots? Before I try something that may make it worse, I need some advise. I think it will cost too much to replace them. Thanks.

You can polish them to a mirror finish.
