Default 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!)

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?

Yup it will be obvious when you look at it what is changed.

Quick Question: Need to get the trolley jack under the ender mount, but seeing as my bike is resting on the front ehaust pipe without Geoff Capes available to lift the front end up in order to slide the trolley jack in - any other weedy ways to get it up in order to get the jack in.

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

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?
