It's time to get niche!
Yeah, so limited appeal for sure, but I shot this for reference when I had to put them back together and I'd inevitably forgotten how they came part. You know, the usual when things take longer than expected, etc.
I was going to film the reassemble too, as there's a few special points like positioning the rebound adjusters once they're all assembled, and even fitting fork seals, but I just plain forgot. Actually, that's another point, fork seals. For a long time they were NLA, but I found them at Stein-Dinse Germany and also Renzo's 2-Rad Shop. Looking now it appears the part # 067037225 is everywhere again. I'm guessing someone ponied up the readies to have some made. They're a unique seal and scraper as one sort of deal, and are held down by a screw on cap. I replaced the original 0.65kg/mm springs with some 0.85kg/mm parts (actually, looking at the job card just now I may have cut the originals down from 27 to 21 coils) and filled them with Maxima 10 weight oil to 180mm springs out. The owner said the front felt much better with the heavier springs, which is as expected. 0.65kg/mm in anything sporty is stupido.
There's another version of these forks with an endurance style drop out axle design too often fitted on TT1, which are just so cool. Some of them with cartridge internals would be primo cafe racer kit. Well, if you can get the hipster dipshits to look past their USD fads.

I do Ducati only, so no point asking a Honda question.
