More breakdown today

The chopper style forks need to go. My plan is to drain the forks, remove, measure and inventory, then find out how to replace, refill, and remount to stock version.

Front Fender
  • Removed Front Fender bolts
  • Needed to remove stays to fully removed fender
  • Left lower bolts in forks
  • Remaining hardware labeled and bagged.
  • Rubber grommets need to be refreshed.
Front Brake Caliper
  • Removed Front brake caliper
  • Two bolts need to removed to pull caliper off.
  • Did not use a spacer but left fluid in brake system for now.
Forks
  • Drained fork oil from right and left.
  • Removed fork caps on the top.
  • Spacers popped out once caps were removed.
  • Once these spacers were remove the forks lowered a bit (might be on to something here)
  • The forks had a cross brace on the lower forks, which I removed and saved.
Unconnected Speedo Cable (In Box)
Screw on bottom which holds it on seemed hard to restart

Front Tire
  • Removed front wheel brackets from bottom
  • Removed front wheel to continue work on forks, wheel bearings seem fair.
