Now that I finally got the correct fork seals, they popped right in, and the forks are mounted on the bike. Time to move on....

Grab the speedo drive and cable. Yuck. Get all that cleaned out and re-greased. It's ready to mount.

Grab the front wheel. Stick my finger in the bearings to do the twist-check. Froze. Try harder......barely moved. Stuff in a drift, "chunk, chunk. chunk...." Dammit. Someone had been in there. One dust cover was missing. Both bearings are 6303-z and the other one had both dust seals, but it looked like someone had hammered on it at one time.

Once again at a stand still waiting on parts. I was really hoping to get the front end on this weekend so I could fire it.
