Complete tear down and rebuild of a 3rd gen Triumph 650 fork leg other generations are pretty similar ( part 1) - Fork Bushings Set www.lowbrowcustoms.com/produc...
This was a great demonstration. I commend his detail and the time he took to go over what might look like an easy task. If one misses something one wont know until after the darn oil-filled forks are back on the bike! PS, I don't not think the "shop" manuals tells you which end of the damper sleeve goes up and this would be a critical mistake! Great job!
Dear Sir, One thing you want to check when you install the "Bronze" bushings in the fork leg is to check for any extra side to side clearance, i remade mine to a tighter tolerance Because ,Even though they are new bushings they could be Machined over resulting in a lower fork legs that have to much clearance between the stanchion and the bushing that affects handling . with a front end that is not stable like it should be. I machined mine so when the lower fork leg is assembled that it is a sliding fit with no discernible play, it made a world of difference. Just a tip that can help all who are assembling the Triumph forks.
Cool. Question, while it's torn down why aren't you painting your frame? Also, what size spanner/socket did you need for the lower damping cone nut out? It's a tight squeeze! Thanks
There are tools made to remove the shuttle valve one can be made, The fork tube can be held in an old triple tree top off any motorcycle just pack it out with soft material aluminum, or plastic if it is to big and tighten. then put it in the vice don't put the fork tube in the vice bad idea...
