Head bearings and fork seals






Out with the old race top and bottom.















In the freezer with the new taper race.

Top one is a little proud but it is OK.

Bottom one spot on.





Fits snugly into place.








Now the nasty fork seals.









Slacken bottom bolt to release internals.


Remove cir clip. a few pumps and out pops the seal.








In with new ones and replace the cir clip add the oil and Bobs your aunty.






Fit to the bike.
