fork problems

Post by William Whalen » Tue May 29, 2001 6:55 am

Kept thinking about it last night, so got up early and removed the fork and will be taking it in to have it tapped at the local dealer, if they say that they can not tap something that big any suggestions who might, or is a routine for them. Feel like a dumb f@#k in 30+ years for riding have never screwd up a fork tube like this before.

Thanks, I HATE dealing with dealers. I don't care if you are taking about bikes or cars. I called the dealer and they said that the cap would be $35.00 and the tube $94.00 and $35-$40 for two day air. I called a few machineshops and none of them call handle something that large, but one said they may be able to salvage it. I am taking both to a machine shop and hoping that they can help.

Tom: Buy another 32 mm wrench and take it to a welder. Have him cut and weld the wrench until it is shaped to do the job. Here in Valle there are old fashion blacksmiths that twisted and tempered mine to perfection... Remeber to order a new magneto bolt, you are not supposed to use the old one again. Have fun dude...
