I love the oil-cooled 750! I’m putting a GSX-R750M front fork on my GSX-R750L (*´ω`*)

What? How old are you? The GSX-R750 is older than you!
I guess I’m in my mild middle-aged years, asking the same questions over and over (*´ω`*)

I’m going to re-plate the used fork and do an overhaul before reassembling it.

The top cap is too long to remove

They didn’t loosen the top cap before sending it…
Well, it’s a Yahoo Auction item, so I guess that’s just how it goes.

I don’t have a 32mm deep socket like this, so I bought one.
It’ll probably come in handy for something down the road.

Let me try out the KOWA Fork Spring Compressor 2

Today I tried using the included attachment. *The collar has a hole in it, but that’s intentional
If you’ve disassembled an inverted fork before, you kind of get it, right?

The system requires a hole in the collar to lower it.
With this KOWA Fork Spring Compressor 2, you can push it down without drilling a hole.

Since it’s a split design and the pressing position can shift, you can usually recover from most situations.

I’d say it’s probably the most convenient among what’s currently available.
Because… it stands up

The fork oil smells rotten

So off it goes to get re-plated…
Now that I think about it…
If they’d just sent the fork first, the workflow would’ve been smoother…

Please wait a bit longer~ (*´ω`*)
