There's been 142 reviews of this post and only one person, besides me, has reported an issue with the fork tubes pitting. I just looked at a 2013 CB1100 in the parking garage where I work and both of the tubes are 100X worse than mine - at least. It doesn't look like this bike has been well taken care of, and it looks like it has never been cleaned. All of the pitting was above the travel of the lower tubes (not the full travel of the forks, but the full travel that this owner uses), so there wasn't any leakage - yet. My 1976 CB750F, that has been stored in my shed for 20 years, has less pitting on the fork tubes.
