The chrome covers hold the seals and hold the tubes in. There is also
an o-ring that seals the chrome seal holder to the steel lower slider.
There is a special tool (list member Stephen Brenton makes one) to
thread off the seal holder (don't use vise-grips!). A little heat helps
too.
MG Cycle and Moto Guzzi Classics can get you the seals and orings.

| I used the ideas from my first post, and succeded in getting my forks mostly apart. I need to know how to continue stripping the forks...I have the springs out, the headlight/fork covers off, but how from here. I think I have seen mention of the chrome covers threaded on? If so, how? will I be able to get replacement seals, etc.? Also, are there any upgrades that will make these perform better than stock? Mine seem to bottom relatively easily, and I have used several weights of oil.
