To get to phase 1 (Bike up on it’s wheels), I need to connect the front forks and wheel to the frame.
This seemed simple enough. After all, I had dismantled a complete bike… hadn’t I? So why can’t I find the yokes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it occurred to me that a few years ago I had undone the XS500 front fork modification on my own 350LC, because the XS forks had become too pitted to pass an MOT.
I had used the front end from the Donor bike for parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I needed steering gear, so it’s off to ebay to hunt down bargains, except there are none to be found, so I end up spending circa \u00a390 on the parts I need. At least the top yoke has been blasted and coated in satin black finish, so I wont need to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the course of my search, I uncovered a number of items in my “boxes of bits”, which will be useful as part of the rebuild, or to be sold on later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
