Fork ears all bent up so pulled the front end. Checked tubes for straight, they are... But I was overly optimistic about a small rust pit in one tube last time around. Seal was leaking just a little. So, new K1 fork tubes from CycleX and through cleaned and reassembled with new seals. Fork oil was quite dirt with only 2068 miles on it. 10w oil last time around which felt a bit soft to me. Went with 15w oil this time and I'll see how it feels.
Reassembled and gave the lowers a quick hand polish.
Start putting things back together... New bars, tach rubber, tach crimp ring, tach backing plate, tach mounting ring, turn signal bits, ears and bucket, etc...
New turn signal and bracket on the back to replace the smashed and bent stuff. New rubber bits on them as well.
Put a washer on the outside of the grab handle on this side, didn't seem right without one but bolt in fiche was not long enough. Found that one of the bar clamp hold down bolts fits perfectly through the grab handle and turn signal bracketry with correct thick chrome washer on the outside.
Trying to figure out where cables route. Seems like clutch cable goes under the backbone from right to left, then around the stem and through the hole in the unicorn for a sharp turn to the lever. This puts the cable slightly in teh way of the bottom of the speedo. Not a big deal and I've seen many like this, but I don't like that it rubs on the painted metal gauge cover. Also not sure of throttle cables go through the unicorn hole or between the upper and lower trees, if so behind or in front of fork tube and headlight ear? I don't think I had all this just right originally.
Now I'm watching paint dry on the caliper and master cylinder. Master cylinder cap took some abuse from the road but cyl itself was good. Unfortunately brake fluid took some of the paint off so had to strip and repaint it. Caliper had some very minor paint chips from stones or whatever on the road, couldn't put it back on as is. So just getting various other small parts ready to go back on now.
