The front end wobble on my 78 CB550K has increased since i had the front end / forks apart to replace the fork seals. Can someone offer any insight into this procedure?
I've found the following in "Thoughts of Hondaman":
To align: loosen the lower fork clamp (triple tree) bolts just enough to be loose, then finger-tighten them. The top ones should be tight, as per normal, so the tubes don't slip up during this next part. Loosen the bolts to finger-tight on one side of the fork brace (usually the non-brake side is easier). The next step is easier with a friend standing by with a wrench: get on the bike, on both wheels, and pump hard down & up several times on the front end. Try to hold it down on the last "bounce" (just don't let it all the way up), then have your friend tighten the lower triple tree bolts. Then let up and tighten the fork brace. This relieves little stresses all over, providing your tubes are straight
Is this it? Does the "fork brace" refer to the front fender? I am not aware of any other fork brace on the 550.
Thanks,
Mark
