Didn't realize that was an actual tool - thought I had to chop up a socket so thanks. So based on your response, are you saying that 73 forks come apart just like other years? I've read that they are entirely different than the 34 and 35 mm forks on 75-8?.

So I apparently bought a rare pair of rides...2 '73 650's. One red, one blue...I'm guessing they're tx650's. Long story short...I'm trying to get the front forks apart and I'm stuck. I've read Hugh's blog (awesome), but my forks are obviously different. I got the cap off the upper and the 8mm...

Admittedly a little rough. rust can be heard rattling around inside, but they both have the petcocks. One has the cap (no key) and one doesn't. Here they are.

So call me a little slow... Would a 73 tank fig a 72 frame?

I'm trying to sell two 73 tanks and a guy asked me if it'll fit a 72. No clue? anyone?

This is one of the rear fenders that I have, minus the loop and tail light assembly.

Oh and as far as the tank badges...I dont' know what I have? (shamefully, I'm a harley guy thus far...) the emblems are kinda ruff, but if you can tell by the pics let me know...

These are the best pics i have right now, but can send you more if you're interested. I have the rear fender and loop too, but I have to dig it out and take pics b/c I can't remember what shape it's in.

Is this what "blue" you're looking for? I have the side covers, headlight bezel, and fuel tank (in ruff shape) too.
