front pipe fork - chrome condition

[hairygit]

Sorry, just been into the US forum. They have a lengthy discussion on front fork oil!

Hmm, wouldn't take too much notice of them, have you ever driven one of their cars? Like the North Sea on a rough night, wallow all over the place!:o

Hairy, they have nice cars. As long as you drive in a straight line, don't use the brakes and never go over 70 mph or hit any bumps more than 5mm, you will be OK

There are washing implements available for men that cannot operate a washing machine..........it's called a sink and mangle

For the record, I'm pretty good with the washing machine... these words could be mine:

I left my baby at the launderette, you can put a little money you can place a little bet that when I see my baby the blacks will be grey and the whites will be grey but the blues are still blue

Ok back to forks.

I know Trig, many years ago, I foolishly bought a 1966 Ford Mustang, 4.7litre V8, auto, drum brakes all round, and not even a servo! And marshmallow suspension, very quick off the line, but cornering was scary, and if you had to stop in a hurry, both feet on the brake pedal (it was huge!) and close your eyes, probably long enough to get a good night's sleep! One more thing, 12-13mpg driven carefully, 6-7 if you gave it some stick

Funny the only US car I've ever driven was a dark blue mustang, behaved like you say and had cloth roof gaping half an inch above front screen and in  the cold season.
But the biker community seems to know the trick about depth down to oil level doing it by a cut to length tube on/from a plastic container maybe like the ones used to spray on cars front screen to get rid of ice on a frosty morning! Just overfill the fork and pump out surplus to an even level for both legs.
