Looking good man - so the color schemes going to be RED / BLACK ?
Today I pulled the forks off the 87 - hopefully this weekend - fork seal job
got some good advice from a Guy on the whole process ^^^^^![Wink](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
and the loan of a handy dandy seal driving tool![Smile](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Might even make a How To : on it.

Just got back from our trip to Land Between the Lakes Kentucky. Was supposed to be a 450 mile round trip, but the bridge was out over Kentucky Lake which meant an 80 mile detour!
Main reason we went was to hit the antique shops in Cadiz, but the detour got us in too late and the shops were all closed.
Was a great ride anyway.

Had a "great" day dealing with these - actually it was not too bad
but one of the chrome tubes is a "borderline" with a small pit/ding
to it ( P/O was overzealous with a screwdriver)
Thanks to PMCG for good tips and seal driver loaner
.... good helpful
members we have here !

Reassembled with new bushings and seals driven in + dust caps - waiting for oil and springs
and some custom top of spring spacers I'm making so it'll be a lot stiffer . IMO it can be said
that most all the Hurricanes are a bit too soft and squishy on the front end taking a big nose
dive even under only moderate braking !
