Moving on.................
It's as good as done. (awaiting air filter, then the tank can go back on)
Front end off this morning, headstock out, clean check and re-grease the bearings. All looked well, plenty of grease in there, so again this bike has had a charmed life.
Scaffold and stand...
I put some 15w back in to the same amount, tried my 10mm spacer but didn't like the feel of it, so I took it out again.
All back on.
Forks feel much better now, a lot less bounce with more control.
After putting the front fairing and headlight back on, I tried the indicators and all the lights, front right indicator wasn't working. Turned out to be the earth on the fitting itself. Couldn't be taken apart so I had to cut a notch in it and resolder to the body. Not pretty as it was a fiddly fucker, but it works, and now sealed up.
Has cleaned up really well, has been a lot of work but worth it, as it's turned out a nice looking bike. Just need to see it it rides ok and get it mot'd.
Happy days.
