South's legendary Lowe Gallery presents world's

greatest

glass artist - Dale Chihuly - in largest show

ever -

I had heard from a previous post that the brake

rod has the same threads
as

the top fork plug and can be used to pull them up.

Anybody confirmed this?

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.
