1978 CB550 K3 "running" restoration
SPR:
Forks all apart and new seals fitted .... just the slight problem of not being able to source fork oil !!
Bryanj:
Got any atf? Even ordinary 10w40 will do at a pinch. Majour diff with fork oil is it dont "froth"
As to the rub mark if you mean on that black plastic bit(cant see anything on the alloy, but i am geriatric) it frequently gets the bracket bent or twisted.

the only oil I have is 15w40 diesel qx oil as used by a few on here for the engine
It was a wearing of the actual alloy leg - the spindle was the wrong way round and I've a feeling that the tyre change man altered it
SPR:
Well ... quick trip to the garage and they had some 10w 40 so bike is all back together .... wheel now correct and disk not touching leg
So far no leaks !!!
A good day and as usual with help from you lot I've managed something else :)
Cheers
Simon
Nurse Julie:
