Default Inverted Forks Swap In Progress

So I went over my boys house and we started wrenching and then all of a sudden my bike was in pieces and before you know it, we had the inverted forks I got on my '04 600RR... here's some pics I took. They are not top quality, I was just snapping pics with greasy hands and wanting to keep working, but there are some good ones. I think I had the camera on the wrong settings at times but whatever, it gives you the idea of what went down last night. I must say, the bike looks sweet with this front end.

I know it's dirty, I need to give it the full clean down before getting put away for the winter.

Last pic with the old forks on...

I won't be able to ride again until the spring probably, and it's just my luck that I took my bike apart Fri night and today was like 70 here, probably be the last day to ride around these parts...

Plus I am waiting for my new front pads to come in and I have to get a mount for the steering damper to be useful, so even though we got most of the work done the bike is not able to be ridden right now anyways.
