350/4 front fork bottom cover removal.
« on: October 08, 2015, 09:42:37 PM »
Hello, I've spent a whole evening looking at all the posts in the 350/400 section for an answer, to no avail. I need to replace the fork oil seals on my 350/4, but can't see how to remove the chromed lower cover from the lower fork leg.
I can see two small spigots and a slot, and some holes. The picture below shows that the cover isn't threaded, so how do I remove the cover, I have heard it's like an eighth turn bayonet fitting, or is it a screwdriver twisted in the slot, or drifted out, and the final option, a C spanner in the hole?
Thanks
Nigel

Same question asked tonight on Honda Twins.net. possibly the same type shroud (i.e tight push fit)

Mine came off relatively easy the other day with a slight tap
