2007 SV650: Project better late than never

[V1GiLaNtE]

challenge accepted... I have 1000RR forks that need some rebuilding. I think they need a special tool. Let me know, maybe you can come up this way and show me the ropes.

Are they standard USD forks? The "special" tool is just a clip you use to break the torque on the jam nut for the fork damper cap. We can easily bang it out in a hour? You going to do a basic service (oil seal, dust seal, fluid)?

Welp, that's about a wrap folks. Beyond getting the gauge mounted she's 95% there. Fresh forks, brakes (F/R), and everything is torqued to spec. I found some pipe clamps at HD with rubber that I cut to size for the t-clamps. It cleans things up very nicely and prevents the clamps from scratching those lovely gold fork tubes. I also switched over to a deeper brake fluid reservoir to prevent any issues there. Quite a rewarding project and she's got the looks to kill. She's pretty much ready for the 2019 track season. Well, except for some new well-deserved frame sliders..
