Pull the forks all the way down to bits with those sliders still on the lowers.
Shoeshine polish those with a strap of something convenient and 4 digit sandpaper.
I think they'll be OK.
The R/T 'replacements' died from corrosion in very short order, both the originals and the warranty replacements.
I threw in the towel after the second set.
I got the originals redone, work left a little to be desired and UX was not great.
I do not dare look up how long those have lasted lest it go sideways again.
I have heard nothing so I'm going on no news is good news.

Lots of progress today even though it doesn't look like much. I made fork service tools and drilled out the stuck fender bolt I had to take the head off.

It came out ok. I lost some thread but chased it with a tap and it looks decent. It will be enough for a fender bolt.
Next was use a $200k lathe and a $35k lathe to make a spring compressor instead of spending actual money.

2" drill putting in the work.

On to the other lathe to make the spring compressor handles. It already had jaws set for 5/8 material so it got used.

Now to make one of those springy-holdy-downy-thingies. Since I don't know what they're actually called.

This is a T slot cleaner for a mill table. I have a bunch and it looks like it will work for my needs. Just have to cut off the part I don't need.

Left the left side connected for support. I'll buzz that out after I have it slotted. I couldn't measure the rod in the fork other than a guess of 10mm by eye. I think it might have been 9mm?

Finished.

And functional!

I'll disassemble either tonight or tomorrow. The plan is to pull out the lowers and chuck them in the lathe for polishing.

A sporting individual would have made those from wood.
Seriously, keep up the good work.
Heat up the outers before you try to get the inners and bushings out.
I've had the bushings impersonate an expanding collet and it's distressing.

I hope you pulled a $1 million job to actually save $.

I didn't save anything, those tools are like $25 on eBay. But I didn't want to wait a week to get them.
I'm not sure is there's a name for what's wrong with me or not
Full blown case of Ducati-itis is raging right now.

And if I paid $100k for a knife I'd certainly cut a carrot with it.
Sometimes it's way more fun *not* punching in a card #.

Truth. I'm not even done using the card number though. Still need a rear shock and fork parts.

If the sliders come good then yeah fork parts, I'll take a look at stock and see what I've got.
