Going to have a crack at polishing some aluminum parts. This is the before photo, you can see there’s a fair bit of oxidization.

Speedo cable screw totally stripped. Cut a new slot using Dremel then impact driver to loosen. Ordered a new screw from BikeBandit. Seem to be getting stuck on little problems like this a lot now.

The manual says loosen clamp bolts and pull out forks. Ha ha ha. After 40 years the forks are well rusted at top. I end up hammering the top, and using a socket to twist the top fork bolt (do it clockwise else it just loosens the bolt). After lots of hammering, twisting, and WD40 the forks come out.

Undo the drain plugs and pump the forks to empty out all the old fork oil.

Now onto front end. I use a ratchet strap to support the front of the bike. Undo all the switches and bolts from handle bar and remove. By removing the 2 bolts at the base of each fork the wheel comes off.
