Wow. That's awesome. Pretty excited about that. Any tutorial anywhere on properly setting them up?

Also, the hole is 10 mm, so when building my compression tool will a 10mm bolt squeeze in or should I get 9 mm?

Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Okay I got the oil change done, here's a pic of what the old oil looked like:



And here's what it looked like going in:



The forks definitely behave a lot better now, thank you for answering all the dumb questions and for the help. I'd love to learn the proper way to dial them in, if anyone knows of a good set of directions for it?

I should also add, the whole point of taking them apart was to investigate for any bends... As I disassembled and reassembled everything seemed to be moving perfect. Fork leg sliding up and down in the tube just fine, on both.
