So, I've done a lot with this silly motorcycle and haven't posted much.
First off, I swapped triple trees, upper and lower. The upper is that nice little Vortex piece, the lower is a straight stock part. Repacked the bearings and back in it went.
See?

Taking off the old unit. What lies beneath? A little well used, 'eh?

It's a lot easier to work on the front end when all the plastics are off:

And you gotta have the front wheel off the ground to take the forks off
My roommates really loved that move...
