Anybody got any ideas?
Yes, Dogvet discribed the procedure on here somewhere a while ago. 1 - 2 inches I believe it was.Regarding the reassembly of the forks. Is there a "Fall-away" test for these front ends?
Thanks Gas Man. One last question. I've pulled the forks out of the triple trees, but I'm having trouble removing the plug to get to the spring, etc. I put a strap wrench on the fork to keep it from rotating while I used a crescent wrench on the plug. It's not budging. I assume the plug is a standard right-hand thread. Any suggestions, maybe a heat gun or something else?CF... I would say that depends on their condition. Mine were in great condition (ie: low milage). That would tell you how far to take it. Hopefully you end up doing them before they are bad, where you could just wipe em off and add more grease.
I think I'm having a senior moment this morning. Rather than prolong this thread, I'll just send you a PM with a couple of questions. Thanks again.Nope... just slide the fork back into the tripples... snug them up like you were installing them... break top cap loose and then remove the fork again and proceed.
