Dave,
Sorry to hear that. If what I think happened, happened. Then there is a
special tool for this job. Which screws into the top of the fork tube and
allows you to pull the tube up through the headlight tin, leg, triplr
tree,whatever.
In the past I have used a 1 inch x 1 inch piece of wood inserted into the
fork tube. Then with duct tape, tapes the leg to the wood. The less tape the
better, it'll be tight getting it through the triple trees with the tape. a
bit of grease wouldn't hurt either. Be careful of the fine threads in the
tubes.
Good luck.

I replaced steering head bearings yesterday in my 74
Eldo. Upon reassembly, the bike fell over to the left
off the motorcycle lift (jack) as it was lowered too
much while I was trying to jockey the lower triple
tree (with front wheel and fork assembly intact) to
the bottom of the steering axle (stem). Then, when I
righted the bike and refitted the motorcycle lift I
noticed that the interior threaded part of the left
fork assembly had "fallen down" into the outer portion
of the fork tube thereby making it impossible to
refasten that side of the fork assembly to the upper
triple plate. The right side was fine, however. Has
anyone had this experience who might share some
insight.
