I would replace the 6mm bolts and fork seals. Probably can get away with not replacing the bushings, oil lock stop, spacer, etc.

Dawg is right as he is most all the time. Depending on the miles and what they look like, I would probably replace the bushings. But I am also very ****. Some things are just cheap insurance to me.
