Jason, I have one of those knocks too. First I thought it was the brake
cable knocking against the fender stay, No. Then maybe the fender not
tightened down enough on the bottom fork tube, No. Then maybe the head above
the triple tree, No. I can't find it either. When I hit a big bump sounds
like something is going to bust loose. Bob

Hi Folks,
I'd like some suggestions on what to look for- my eldo has developed a
front end 'knock' when I go over (rough) bumps. I *think* its when the
forks extend rather than compress, but I could be wrong. Any ideas on
what it might be? It's not the triple clamps or steering head, that
would've been too easy. Besides, it seems to handle just fine and I
cannot reproduce the noise parked in the driveway. I never have taken a
set of forks apart, so any advice on that front is welcome too. Does
anyone have a spare top-tube cap so I can make the special tool that is
apparently required? Aren't motorcycles fun?
Jason
