Can you change the fork oil with the forks on the bike??? also if you can change the oil while the forks are attached, could you swap the springs as well???

Yes you can change the fork oil while forks are on the bike and change the springs at the same time if you so wish.

good luck,
Andy

Simply phenomenal. I can't wait to get done with my friggin insurance payments for the year so I can get (afford) some winter riding gear and head out!

Your K6 looks gorgeous, mine was really rusty when i bought it so I'm doing custom paint, the candy antares cost about 120 for a quart and a half, plus all the other clear coats and such

I hope to put some pics up soon after i reassemble it

This thread needs to be either made sticky, or put in FAQ with the thoughts of HondaMan

I second that nomination!!!

Rob_Shaw · « **Reply #142 on:** March 05, 2007, 02:28:07 PM »

And then???

I'm so disappointed that this thread isn't longer! I would still love to see the finished bike, with newly painted tank, etc. Hope this continues somehow.

John,
I am so happy that I was able to stumble on this thread. My firsts reaction to the pictures of what you brought home was a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I was so impressed by the amount of energy you and others on this forum give to bring about a successful save, inspired me. Sometimes on this site, I am inspired to go out and search for a project bike.
Hey guys, Keep up the good work and keep the in progress and finished pics, coming.

Take care,

Marty

hi you all,

I'm just trying to get some special equipment together so I'll hopefully can start a new project, I've just bought a professional tig welding equipment(second hand buyed it about 1200 euro's), so i can make my own fuel tank and seat, thinking of a monoshock with a mono arm (like a vfr800)rvs exhaust, butt when i got the time and the money to start with that all I'll keep you all posted, I'm just so far that I'll order the material for the feultank and seat

the bike with which i started this link will get a little service from me next weekend so see can preform an other year in well condition

i'll get some people to do somethings for me, my head will be flowed for better performance( the man guessed about 5-10% tork performance getting out of it, in combination with the 822cc kit, picks will be shown here

You probably know this already and may be done with the job.... but the tachometer seal is very easy to remove with a small wood screw. Gently turn a screw (or two) into the seal and pull gently with a pliers. I think I recall putting the new one in with a small socket. This job can be done in 5 minutes or so.
