 Cleared my Toaster out, rolled in the RS and pulled the tank. |
 Jerome got to work disassembling the fork top. |
 Some tough to reach places. |
 Instrument bracket was tricky to wiggle out. |
 Found the bearing castle nut barely hand tight - not good. |
 Some instrument brackets hit the TT brace buttress and have to be shaved. |
 Ground off a tad of material around the radius. |
 Lots of variation in these brackets. This one finally set in snug. |
 TT stem nut snugged down to seat the brace and check fork tube reveal. They were a bit low. |
 Couldn't use a socket with the damper rod so tool kit spanner & a couple good whacks. |
 Seating the tube top bolts on the TT spacers. |
 The final 35 ft/lbs on the tube bolts to seat and seal the forks. They play no part in holding forks now. |
 Jerome pulling the studs out of the riser caps for longer bolts. |
 Getting the new riser bolts in from underneath was tricky with stuff in the way. |
 A bit of adjusting here and there to get everything to fit in the fairing. |
 Everything tightened down and final inspection. |
 The new brace and stem nut will ensure a solid, positive handling. |
 The triumphant duo! |
