Rebuilding Front End - 2002 Curvy
Right, with the delivery of parts purchased thanks to Huskey, I'm wanting to know if I can replace the top bolt on the forks received.
The picture on the left is my old top bolt, and the picture on the right is the current top bolt in the replacement forks. Can I just replace these bolts without fuss...? Thanks. |

Yeah but there's a solid washer you need to swap as well (so the adjuster has something to press!)

Re: Rebuilding Front End - 2002 Curvy
yc...just looked at the Haynes Manual section 6-11 and I see what you mean.
So as long as I place the following items:- 20 - Top bolt 21 - O-ring 22 - Solid Plate ... all should be well then? |

Re: Rebuilding Front End - 2002 Curvy
Yup it will be obvious when you look at it what is changed.

replace the existing washer with a solid one, i believe i read on here somewhere you need to cut the original spacer down too.

Re: Rebuilding Front End - 2002 Curvy
Any idea how I can get the front end up on my own, in order to get the trolley jack in to keep it jacked up?
