Hi all time to rebuild the front forks on my 93 RU
can anyone very kindly confirm i have the right part numbers for the 2 metal slide/bushes in the pic
the numbers i have are
3GM-23125-50-00
3JD-23171-LO-00
Cheers for that
prob i have is i cannot get the bottom of the stanction on the L/H leg the grub screw has been rounded off, i have tried drilling it out and heating it up but still cant shift it, looks like iam going to try and source another bottom or a new set of forks.
thanks stig but i have drilled the grub screw out its the bottom section that i cant unscrew off the stanction i have tried heating it but it wont budge, just a thought its a normal thread and not a left handed is it

as far as I know they are std thread (theres no reason either for them to be a left hand thread as theres no forces being applied that would cause them to unscrew if the were'nt)
