1941 Knucklehead FL TT - Fork Change

Ready to remove the XA length Fork

Off with the number plate and Ride Control...

Front wheel...off

Damper, ride control, front axle...

Handle bars...

Off...

Spring compression and removal of XA length Springer

Spring compression and install standard length Springer
Presto Chango...that was quick!

OK now we're getting somewhere...

Ride Control, steering damper, wheel...all back on
Don't forget to install that steering damper before you install the front wheel or that wheel is coming back off! When I was a kid I learned the hard way and installed the front fender, brake, wheel, "the whole 9 yards" and then saw the steering damper laying on the floor...hey WTF I needed the practice...

A whole lotta left over chunky stuff from Rick's mud track breaking loose...

Need to pop on the number plate and take it for a ride!
Oh yeah I changed out the tail pipe as well...
Adjusted the carb and she's running pretty good...

Checking out the handling and tuning her in....

Satisfied for now...we'll see how she handles on the track...
