BIG SUCCESS TODAY BOYS!

Finally ol' ML gets a W.

I was able to fix the fork I already had back together. The one that had to have the rebound screwed to China to do anything. I had the lock nut on backwards which kept the top cap from screwing down far enough. Once I had that flipped over I reset the rebound adjuster on the top cap and put it back on. All is well.

Now for my trials and tribulations with the other fork that refused to come apart. There was absolutely zero chance of the slide hammer method working. I resign myself to removing the fork lower from the chrome stanchion and sliding it up through the outer fork tube and removing it out the top.

This worked. But it took some engineering and CNC machining to accomplish it. I don't think there's any chance I could have done this with just a fork vise.  That fork lower is on there

I had to heat it up big time with the heat gun to even get the locking set screw to back out. They use loctite on there. And not the kind that lets you take shit apart.

<the website I use to convert Flickr urls to img links the dmf will digest is down so you'll actually have to click the link to see things today>

More work on the SS today. Got the forks all tightened down in the triples and got it sitting back on its tires. I had to sit on it and make motorcycle noises in my head.

I got the gas cap reinstalled. Not very difficult once I was able to get the seal ring to stay in place.

I also started on pulling the ground and starter cables to replace them with larger gage higher stand count wire. That always seemed to help with initial cranking speed and ease of starting.

I like to remove the factory terminal and reuse it. In this case I was able to pry the crimp tabs open, clean it up with scotch brite, recrimp onto the new wire and add a blob of solder for good measure.

Pictured here is the terminal that was on the starter. It was pretty ugly after being down low where debris and moisture can get at it. The other end of the cable is hidden up in the bike on the solenoid and is fairly well protected from the elements. It looked almost new.
