Parts all stripped with the lowers stripped of paint and polished.
Springs checked and found to be correct for free length.
New seals, dust seals and fork oil were purchased and re-assembled as per the Haynes manual.
Forks rebuilt ready to go back on the bike.
Front and rear wheel got my attention next.
Rear wheel bearings were fine but the fronts still had the old one side open type.
A bit of heat applied and a gentle tap released the bearings.
A bit more heat and bearings in the freezer let the new bearings drop into place.
The wheels looked tired with the paint showing the aluminium through it and the aluminium having a bit of surface corrosion.
The aluminium was cleaned with a scotchbite pad and then polished with autosol.
I decided to brush paint the wheels with QD90 machine paint. An enamel paint which self levels and dries quickly.
Wheels nearly finished, just need new tyres, although there's plenty of tread on them, they've not been on the road for over 7 years and have hairline cracks in the side wall.
