gottem done!!!!!!!!!
This all started with a leaking left fork seal. The guy who owns the bike likes "to do things right" so it didn't surprise me that when he came out this morning, he had every single piece you could order for the front forks, except the forks and slider tubes. Turns out this was a great idea on his part.
Using my table lift, we didn't pull the fork tubes out of the triple tree. We did the right side first. Just dropped everything down from the front, it was a piece of cake.
Measured the springs, they had to have been replaced already, since the bike has 90,000 miles on it and they were well within the limits......
It was obvious when he bought the bike about a year ago that it had been wrecked, came with a regular title (not a salvage title). But now I wonder about the competency of who ever rebuilt it. When we went to rebuild the left side, the rebound spring was not present. But, since he had ordered all the possible parts, we had a rebound spring to put into it.
Took it for a test ride and WOW!!!!! what a difference.
Anyway, a little less that 4 hours start to finish. Considering that was the first 1800 I have ever messed with, and we scratched our heads for a while with the rebound spring, I was really happy................
