[QUOTE="hppants, post: 899004, member: 27852"] This is very helpful - thanks for taking the time to write this up. Couple of questions for the group: 1. Can anyone confirm that the forks on the Gen I are the same as the Gen II? 2. I don't have easy access to a welder. I do have a 26mm 1/2 drive socket, and a 3/8 (female) to 1/2" (male) adapter. Couldn't I just use a very long (16" or longer) 3/8" extension to accomplish the same thing? Or am I missing something. 3. The 2" PVC seal driver is something I'm familiar with - can you tell me if you used schedule 40 (thin wall) or 80 for your driver? 4. Are any of the bushings indexed? I couldn't see if there was a grove or indexing pin to be concerned with. (and I know I'm going to get slammed for this one) Which brand of fork oil is the consensus for the FJR? It would appear that stock is 10W - please confirm. Thanks again - your photographs are really high quality. [/QUOTE]
