October’s already over in a flash… time sure flies!
Back in the day, even after all that playing around, time still felt like it was moving slowly, didn’t it?
I wonder if I’m heading toward the other world… (*’\u03c9’*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll continue with the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Let’s disassemble the front fork.
The oil was as black as ink… If I stare intently at the image reflected in the oil, it’s scary, so let’s skip that. (There’s nothing there anyway.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They brought in the painted bottom case and the inner tube that was re-plated at Toyo Hardening, so we’ll combine them into one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation is smooth, and I think it probably resists leaks well… We’ve been sealing a little Molycote (fluorine grease) into the oil seal lip for a while now.
The more I research PTFE, the more interesting it becomes… Be careful though, as it’s expensive and not suitable for all applications! <\/a>

Monotaro seems to have a good balance of pricing and selection. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an anti-nose canceller made by Speed Shop Itou. <\/a>

I’m pretty sure I looked into the anti-nose on GPZ and GSX1100 series a while back… and then I thought, what about the GSX-R? So I looked it up…
Hey, it’s the same pitch! So it works\u2014that’s how it went. In the end, they’re all KYB anyway. I wonder if RGB and such are the same too…

We’ll cut out that crummy electronic anti-nose and end up with a normal fork.
In the future, it would be fun to replace the spring too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you vacuum-bleed the fork oil at the end, you’ll subtly see air coming out.
If you bleed it thoroughly, the finish is reassuring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it was deteriorated, I gave it a wet-to-guncoat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For some reason the fender is super close, so I made a spacer to raise it.
From here on, I had a bad feeling… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No matter how I look at it, the fender mounting seems off…
I didn’t investigate, but… is this bottom case okay? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran out of time and only got partway through.
