Started on the front end disassembly today.
What's the plan, Bomber?
I'd been slowly amassing the parts to fix up the front end. All balls head bearings, fork seals/damping piston ring, just picked up the front wheel from the speed shop. She'll be rollin spitfires for the next 7-10kmi. Asked my pal there if he would drill the brake rotor, but he talked me out of the idea, 3 hours labor and not much gained.
I got fed up with the leaky fork seal on the left stancion, my tach gauge is useless so I'm gonna ditch that. Fashion a new mount or the speedo and key switch, move the indicators into a k-model bar clamp cluster (a swap meet freebie!)
And that mofuggin headlight bucket is a smashed up busted p o s from a yamaha. Still searching/scheming for a new lamp.
He's the glimpse of the fork tubes as they are. My pal the guzzi-addict thinks I'll be fine to re use them despite the dull streaks in the chrome.
