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!

Joe in St Louis

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
