Yay! New front tire and fork seals, and she's a cadillac!

    Maybe a 25 year old caddy, but still much better than it was. My next project is to put on a valve cover gasket I got from Len. I suppose I'll need to check the valve clearance and a few other things while I'm in there (any advice would be welcome).

    I'm going to try to do a little write-up on my fork seal project. No pics :( I really didnt have a clue what I was getting into, but with threads posted in here and a few other places, I finally muddled through it. You end up spending more time improvising tools than you actually do working on the bike!

    Change the rubber donuts on the valve cover bolts too so your new gasket doesn't leak...
