I credit Punkskalar and his "How to" to get me motivated for this. I have stock 77-D and am taking on rebuilding the front forks for the first time.
I doing this with the upper tubes stil in the trees.
When I got the bottoms off I saw a narrowed section on each of the upper tubes.
OK, here are some pics of what I was describing on the fork tubes.
Is this indented section unusual?
Also, my dampers already have 4 holes at the bottom and only 1 small hole at the top. I bought this bike with about 4K miles on it in 1981 from the second owner. I know he never had it apart. I thought the factory dampers had only 2 holes on the bottom.
Thanks in advance for any input,
Slimbob
