I'm prowling for info on fork rebuild. The photos were of great help for a visual, thanks (to all) for taking the time to do a write up. Need more info on fork rebuild that includes inner/outer bushings and any related "special tooling".

Crap, I just spotted this today and am about 50 miles west of Murphy off Hwy. 64 in Tennessee. There's also a Yamaha dealer about 25 miles west of me in Cleveland that might have helped. Wish I'd checked the board more thoroughly or somebody could have contacted me as I think my contact info is...

You folks are pretty nice to some FNG that rarely shows up, posts when he's half liquored up, and doesn't know WTF he's talking about. As for honesty, that's usually what gets me in trouble to begin with so I keep a clamp on it.......until someone adds liquor anyway. My grandfather once told me...

I've got 2 bikes, 3 others I sorta oversee, and it just bothers me that I'll have to...

Just to add my .02, if that makes any difference. I was on a trip to southern Florida from Tennessee a few months ago. The rear tire had some mileage on it but I thought I'd replace it after the trip. While down around the armpit I noticed the rear tire felt rather "soft". No problem, I'll check...

How-D; I've been a lurker on this site but wanted to add a reply in case this helps someone with a rounded out socket head cap screw. As a tool and die maker it was not uncommon to have rounded out a socket head (SHCS) while dis-assembling a stamping die for routine work. There is one technique...
