Topic: Are these the wrong forks? Pics included.

[robdrobd]

As I was disassembling today I noticed that my forks stick up from the yoke about an inch. That can't be right, can it. Shouldn't they be flush?

it's fine, the previous owner lowered the front end.

Just jack up the bike loosen the upper and lower trees and push em down.

It is OK, as long as the eggwhite is FIRM & TIGHT ..

I know, I took the bars off today and tried to put them the right way, but the fork bolts got in the way. The upper forks are rusted to hell too, probably because they have been sticking out about an inch!

use an impact wrench and a rubber mallet.

and some liquid wrench.

edit: if the bolts are fine then the liquid and impact wrenches are not needed.

So dropping your forks down thru your triples makes your forks rust? Well I'll be buggared!
