Fork Caps
2nd hint for the day. Learned this one from the head mechanic at the dealer up here in Washington. After owning two Big Dogs and putting lots of miles on them in all types of weather I learned that the fork caps hold all kinds of things like water, oil grime or whatever gets in them.
Knotso was at the house the other day and I remembered to pull the caps and about a 1/4 cup of water came spilling out onto the floor. I used a paper towel to clean up the cavity around the seals and now no more ugly stains on my forks. I'll bet most people don't even know that the caps came off!
