Bryanj:
Only extra I would add is fix the pitting to the chrome with epoxy A how to exists somewhere but may be on the US site

Tomb:
Can I add, if it helps (I'll get me coat if it doesn't ;D)

When doing my 500/4 seals I leave the stanchion in the yokes, remove the bottom screw and slide the slider off.

I first put the bike on the centre stand on a 2" thick piece of wood and lift the front end of the bike up to get the ground clearance to slide the slider off   ........over an oil pan. ;)

It looks possible to do this on the 750 looking at the photos, is this right??

Apart from it being easier, the other reason I don't remove the stanchions is my 500 has clip-on bars and headlamp clamps that are a pain when removing stanchions, anyone with a cafe racer style bike may have the same issues.
