Pete, I read your reply to Jason and it stirred up my curiosity, so I went to the V2 page to take a look. Unfortunately, no speken de deutch, but these folks seem to like V-7 Sports too. One thing I need to replace on my Sport
is the mufflers, aka Shark Gills. I sure would appreciate some help with trying to find some Sport parts on these guys webpage. Perhaps another off-list topic.

Thanks in advance!

The two Ambos that I got each had one damaged fork. So I had to mate them together to get a good set. I had the same difficulty in dis/re-assembly.
I had a machinist buddy turn down a tonti frame top plug (same thread) so that it fit inside the top clamp. Then he drilled and put in threaded insert for a really strong hardened allen bolt. I put in the bolt and threade |
the
| top plug into the fork tube and used a big gear puller to pull the top clamp free. Nerve wracking bang when it goes, but nothing went flying.
Reassembly used a machined cup that the top plug fits into so you thread the top plug into the tube with no allen bolt this time. Then you put the cup |
| on with the hollow side up. Screw in the long allen bolt and it draws the |
top
| plug level with the top clamp. AH but there is still a a little bit |
further
| to go... so you flip the cup over so the hollow is facing down and |
re-apply
| the allen bolt, this will draw it up the rest of the way.
I can take some reasonably close measurements if you like.
To the the lower tree off, I had to use force. On one I had to use a |
press.

Hey Gents,
I'll be working on the $200.00 Ambo 750, that I just purchased, over the weekend. I'll probably be doing a lot of damage assessment and making |
|
out
| | the wish list. One thing that I want to do is disassemble the front |
|
forks
| | and prep them for rebuilding. I have the forks off the bike. My |
|
questions
| | are; "How do I get the fork tubes out of the fork covers?" Do I need special tools? If special tools are required, can they be fabricated easily? |
|
Also,
| | any info on parts, seals, estimated prices and the place to shop for the parts.
Thanks a bunch, Tim 73 Police GT & 70 Ambo
