    *NOW* the fun starts.
    I trust you've done the bushes and seals before then ?

    BTW......Make sure your garage roof has a damn good steel sheet attached to
    it for when you let go of the socket on the top of the fork and the spring
    escapes.

  3. First time I ever did fork seals, I had the bike on the sidestand as I
    undid the fork cap nuts. First one came off ok.

    Then I took the second one off...

    I've done the springs already.

    The originals barely popped the top nut off. The Promotives took some
    compressing to reassemble. Like clamped in the vice, and me leaning
    bodily on the socket wrench type compressing.

    Promotives?
    or should that have read Progressives?

    It should.

    Promotives are the noisy cans (not) on the Blackbird.
