Fork lowers original finish?

<< < (5/6) > >>

Nurse Julie:
I'm stripping my CB750 K2 and these don't have an arrow either but they do have an F, you can just see it on the top right. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Sprocket:
Excellent, thanks guys! :)

MrDavo:
Yes gap at the back, think of it as so the rain doesn't get in. I'm sure that isn't why it's like that, but it helps me get my head around it and get it right.

For something as safety critical as holding the front axle in the right place you'd think Honda would have made it bleeding obvious or impossible to do wrong rather than just assume everyone had seen and memorised the service bulletin / manual.

My CL450 barn find fork legs took 2 or 3 hours each to make shiny, one was crusty, one was like NOS but covered in yellowed laquer. I used P800 wet, followed by the polishing wheel.

I can actually see an arrow on that Julie, it's just above the J marking and is pointing forward. I may have been wrong about the arrow or maybe it;s just the 500 that got those but they all have some sort of marking like the F for forward to show orientation.

I know you are just winding me up Ken 😀😀😀 Here is a better pic, I defo can't see an arrow, a J, a D and an F but no arrow.

If in doubt there's always the owner's manual...
