Re: Front end problem after crash & repair

The yokes seem to be ok, the right fork went in both bottom and top yokes perfectly easy. The left one needed a fair push in order to put it throught the top yoke, it was off by 2-3mm.

Re: Front end problem after crash & repair

Yes, there's only the front spindle and the speedo bit.
