Auto Assignment Part Three

Front Forks


Upgraded fork damper valves   
drill holes in the cylinder fork
i did this by making a center punch on where i wanted to drill then started drilling with a ⅛ bit


then moved up to ¼ bit i had to drill a total of 4 more holes in each cylinder fork
had to buy an put on the upgraded fork damper valve had to put the new fork damper valve on in between the cylinder fork and the spring
For this we had to buy the upgraded fork damper valve  

Needed new fork oil
after i finished putting the seal on the outer fork pipe and putting the inner fork pipe with the upgraded cylinder fork in with the new spring then screwing in the fork drain bolt i was able to put the fork oil in and then put on the top bolt to close the fork
we had to buy fork oil and new seals and dust seals

Gas tank and seat

Gas tank
had to remove gas tank
sand it i had to sand it with 220 grit then 320 grit then 600 and then 1000 grit sand paper and now the last thing i need to do for the gas tank is to paint it and put it back on the frame
had to buy more sand paper  

Seat  
we bought a an scrap seat to use it for extra or missing pieces once i removed the seat i had to take the lever from the scrap seat and put it on the new seat i also had to use some spare screws from the scrap seat by the end of mixing and matching pieces we had a seat that was in very good shape

bought a scrap seat and the only problem i ran into was that one of the bolts broke in the seat so i had to drill a new hole
