Oooooooonnnnnnngoing front end rebuild...

It all started the fork seals looking a bit dodgy...so I took the forks apart. Well then perhaps I thought I should put some tapered roller bearing in as I've got it apart.

Then I might as well get the bottom yoke and fairing bracket powder coated - they looked a bit rusty.

Some good work from triple-s:



Got some gold valves from charlie on here.

Decided to have a go at some fork polishing. One fork done, tried hard to get all the cast marks out:



Saw a polished top yoke on ebay and decided to have a go:



Final polish still to go with this.

I found out polishing is pretty hard work and very messy.

Anyway, as I don't have much time to spend doing all this I've missed all the good weather - hopefully will get it all back together before the summer goes.

but you do know that now you are going to have the endless task of keeping it shiny...

Ooo, shiney! About time you put it back together though!
