[QUOTE="Mr_Canoehead, post: 1376215, member: 86927"] Mine had welding slag inside, too. I filed it down with a half-moon file. Took about 5 mins. Tool worked great. I'd recommend using a blind bearing puller or steering head bearing puller to get the top bushing out - mine didn't budge when I pulled the inner tube. My bushings were showing signs of wear at 31k miles and the bike feels better with the new bushings and oil installed. The old oil only had about 12k miles on it but was pretty dark. [/QUOTE]
