The rebuild day 1

Bench ready in anticipation!

Frame finally back from the powder coaters, Paul did a great job just not quick enough for me,,,, well I might be a bit impatient some times.

On the lift.  First job remove old head bearing. First the top then the bottom. I left these in for the powder coating just to keep the pipe clean for the new bearings.

The seat is nice and clean for the new taper bearing race.










First as always in the freezer with the race to shrink a tiny bit.

Tap in place. As one is cold the other is room temp so it slides in OK.

Next the center stand.

NOS pin and spring ready.

Nice snug fit plenty of copper grease.

Washer and spit pin fitted.
