Starting to make some progress.

So I have a question for tools or anyone who can answer. When I cut the springs in the forks do I use less oil when refilling them?

No, you do not use less oil. The length of the spring has nothing to do with the dampening system.

Thanks I wasn't sure. I was assuming the space inside would be less because it was compressed more. So do I just dump it back in the top? Then add air? I'm assuming there is an air fitting under the acorn nut on the right fork top. I bout a Clymer manual, just have not gotten that far yet.

Yes, that is correct. Bought a Clymer manual huh. You like fictional humor? Download the Factory Service Manual from the manual thread at the top of the home page here.

Lol, that bad huh. Thanks. I looked at it before and thought it was incomplete. Don't remember why I thought that.

 So I noticed when I took out the battery box there is an opening that appears to be going into the stock airbox. Am I messing a cover or something here or is this just how it is? May need to take a better pic.

 Got a seat hoop off ebay that was advertised as for a dohc cb750c. Of course it was about half an inch too wide. So I cut it up and welded it back together.

We can move your posts, but we can't edit them. The image posting options here don't provide an editing function to rotate pics, you'd have to do that before you post them. Aren't compoopers fun?

Sos. Is there a trick to getting the front wheel shafts out? It's unscrewed and refuses to come out.

Just keep twisting the axle in its holders and maybe trying spraying some penetration oil in there. Sometimes they get stubborn if they've been in there for a long time.

Thanks I actually got it out with a 2x4 and a mallet.

When you reinstall it, be sure to coat it with grease. Never put an axle in dry.
