2009 March 13: Polishing and assembly (3.00 hours)

Updated: 

  • Finally got both triple trees and both fork lowers polished. Took me 2 hours and they turned out pretty nice. I hate to polish, and I'm glad this bit is behind me.
  • Assembled the triple trees with new bearings (greased).
  • Fit new stainless pinch bolts to the triple trees, using anti-seize of course.
  • Fit handlebars. I used new stainless bolts for the rear bolts. But, the two front bolts are a bit special. I reused the originals (which were in good shape).
  • Fit the dash in place.
