Update:
I removed the fork stanchion / slider assemble and completely disassembled it on my bench. There does not appear to be any damage or repair done to the slider, and the interior of the bore looks smooth. The bush moved freely along the stanchion. I did notice however, that I may not have given the interior of the slider enough attention after the buffing, to ensure it was super clean. I cleaned them well before the buffing, but not after. There was some crud and things that looked like black buffing wheel particles when I cleaned the slider with brake cleaner. I took special care putting everything back to together, and they are plunging fine now. I lined up the stanchions and the yokes, and after a few attempts, they were lined up as per Greg’s glass method. In my case, I used a marble tile I had lying around.
Thanks for all the help and comments. This case is now closed. This is what makes this website great!
Cheers,
Gatsby
