what have you done to your "bike" today

[darkember]

Don't throw the old bearings away just yet as you can use them to to help get the new ones in place. You don't want to directly hit the new ones with a hammer, so can use the old ones over the top and hit them instead. When you get the new one's, put the outer headstock race in the freezer overnight and then they will shrink a bit and be easier to knock into place. An angle grinder works a treat to help remove the old bearing off the steering stem. A combination of heat from cutting and cutting it off, and it will slide straight off before you even cut right through it. If you have a bit of metal tube or copper pipe slightly larger than the steering stem, this will work well to squarely knock the new bearing down into place.

Not forgetting to put the dust cap on first

But it handled so good Totally didn't have loads of front end wobble or anything

[lloydie]

Removed the inlet restrictors from the exhaust headers .
Fitted new bushes to the forks but there's still a little lateral play !
Stanchion are fine so I'm thinking the lowers are oval . I will refit them tomorrow and see what they are like .
And took delivery of these

So tomorrow I will show them up to the frog and have a think !!!
