If you still have the points/ignition plate, I'll buy it off you! :)

Successful helicoil. About to do the other side. Anyone have any idea what forks these are? I got a pic of the casting marks. Im stumped.

Okay. The seals were good and soft. No leaks, but I'll see if they compare and try and order some new.

How do I measure the seals? I know that sounds dumb, but do I measure like inner and outer dia. Etc? And like height and stuff. Im a little confused tbh.

I'm not too worried about the forks. Just worried about finding parts for when I do a full rebuild? They don't seem to match any of the models I've looked at online. And they don't match any factory 650 I've seen either. Can't find a Honda with matching forks either. I'm stumped. If you could...

Yes it is. That is the damper rod bolt. I got that out fine. After stripping the threads trying to install the drain plug back in. U can drain that way, but the drains exist so you don't have to. Untill the soft alloy strips. Then you gotta remanufacture the threads. Ugh

Wow, they must not be then. Huh. They are different on the bottom. Ill try and get some pics tmr. I kinda wanna find an OEM set now. Looking at sets on eBay mine look fairly different as well. Caliper mounts different etc. Found the best pics I have. If you could maybe identify them? Not...

They're just standard m6x1.

I can try and gets some more pics of them later. The fit the wheel and caliper like factory. It's interesting if they are. Another issue came up though, both threads for the fork drain plugs are stripped. I'm gonna pick up a helicoil kit I think. I could tap out to 8mm but I risk fucking it...

Yeah I'm confused on that. I haven't seen this style before. But it's a 650 front end to my knowledge, 650 wheel, triples, everything. So I'm not sure. The guy I bought it from said it was a Honda front end but he had the bike built, so I'm not sure if he knew what he was talking about.

I attached a couple photos. Hope it helps.

I need some advice. I want to change my fork oil but am unsure about my forks? I have a chopped up 78 SE. There is no top cap, just a retaining clip with a plug. Do I remove that like I would with a normal threaded cap? I have to put some good pressure on it to push it down to where I could...

Thank you so much. Super helpful!!

Yeah I was thinking of just laying it on its side but I need something to lay it against lol. It's super low cuz it's chopped but I'll figure it out. Might just drain the oil. But thanks for the input, I think I tried to line it up right but when I put it back together I remember not being able...

Well, good to know, might be my issue then, thank you!

Thank you. I'm just now realizing that I'm not sure if I lined up those dots. Didnt know that had anything to do with anything. Is there a reason for that?

Hey guys, I had my clutch/basket out to change my shifter shaft because it was bent on the outside. Previous to removal the clutch disengaged/ engaged fine. When I put it all back together, I never separated the plates/pressure plates untill I had to reinstall them, and I reinstalled them...

Well, think I got it figured out. Damn near cut my finger off in the process🤣 about 4 stitches and a couple ounces of blooded later. Come to find out it might've just been a shitty plug all Along. I grabbed another plug that I hadn't tried yet and both cylinders fired right up. Only had it...

130 psi both cylinders. Not amazing but it ran strong before this with no issues. Just started Burning some oil but I did the seals because it still had compression.

I'll try that, they're good ngk wires and I think they're fairly new, but I'll try that tmrw and see if it does anything. Thanks,!
