Hi All,

Well I did the fork shortening thing last night. Used a short bolt and double nuts for the "special tool," $!.37 at the hardware store. Already had an extra long 1/2 inch extension.

I didn't take any notice of the oil leak on the left fork. What I did find funny was that the dust seal wouldn't stay in after I reassembled the forks. Well, with 29k miles on it the fork seals are shot. Now I have one short and one long fork leg. I'm not taking apart the right leg till I get parts from DK. Oh, and buying a pvc pipe "seal installation tool."

Moral of the story: Before you take the forks apart order new fork seals and dust covers. Should be about 30 bucks with shipping.

I knew it was too easy.
