The Ship of Theseus ! I like that

Suzuki seals ? What brand are your forks ?

The Loctite 518 will be a good choice . make suer the mating surfaces are perfectly clean with Brake-Kleen or similar product when you reassemble.

How much (if you don't mind ) did they cost ?

So far this doe not hold true above the Equator .

What kind of adapter goes for the prick inflator ? i would like to see the pressure readings before doing ANYTHING down there

What is the diameter of the wrong pins ?

I will never comprehend how these pipes on M-X bikes did what they did in the 70s & up. For those that are old enuf. There were a multitude of pipes , silencers , etc. and they were sold throughout Dirt Bike , MXA and every motorcycle magazine published.

The whatever-kinda-goo that gets up in the frame has to go somewhere , so the crankcase is best option. If you have ever owned a Ducati single you know what their after the fact breather system looked like .

I got my parts from Midwest Control Products in Bushnell , Il. . www.midwestcontroproductsl.com TR6-150 threaded rod. DNTFL-6 rod end , DMCS-6 ball joint , DNTFL-6 ball joint , DMCSL-6 ball joint. I will never understand why they installed two r.h. thread rod ends on an adjustable rod. I di turn this quite a long time before I realized I was going nowhere ! Hmmm IDK why I went crazy on the rod ends but I got all of them and picked the ones I liked. On the threaded rod , just get two and cut the first one the same length as the original , reassemble and adjust to suit you. You have the extra rod to work with ! This stuff is inexpensive and top quality. You will not regret doing this. This was from Aug/2011 so I hope these part #s are good. These people manufacture high performance things so this is not a hokey-pokey place. Good luck

Well , you need to purchase a l.h.thread ball end and a threaded rod w/l.h. &r.h. thread and go to work. I will try to find some part #s. This is the best way to fix this so you can trim this height to suit you .

I have two pins 20mm on the thread dia. , 17mm on the pivot pin and one nut w/the hex being 30mm on the o.d. of the hex

NOPE . I am wrong . there is a fitting and hose at the top of the frame (visible) at the front of the fuel tank and goes back to the air cleaner housing that vents to the inside of the housing. This keeps crankcase pressure from building up and ruining things . My apologies for the heresy.

The front brake hose going through the steering head took SOME effort

I had to go look. Yes , it is that stupid . It should be vented to the atmosphere but it isn't . I know there is a screen in the return hose to keep debris out of the crankcase .

Well , I did say I didn't care for it ! I will have to look at it again to make sure , but I think it is made that way . All my manuals are out in the shop.

I am sorry to hear you're selling . BUT , you gotta do what you gotta do.

No , it is part of the closed loop ventilation system. I don't like it but I didn't make it. This back hose goes up to the lower portion of the frame and bolts to the side of the frame. The front hose that always deteriorates goes into the top portion of the frame goes down and attaches to the engine crankcase area. Look at your parts manual for a good understanding .

What diameter are the one(s) you need ?

And , they are the correct diameter ?

Do these rubber inserts drop in place ?

I sure don't like the way those hydraulic lines are routed . That looks pretty sad.

The only time I did both at the same time was when I had new tires mounted and balanced on the Alpina wheels and I swapped the tire/wheel combo out one at a time from the bike. I do not recommend having both wheels up in the air/off the bike at the same time. we were doing something one time and had one wheel off the bike and had the bike on a jack w/the bars connected to an o/head hoist for safety. Came back in the next morning and the jack had leaked down COMPLETELY . If we did not have that secondary holding the bike we would have been upset. IF you live close to the shop doing the work , do one wheel at a time and do your work slowly and deliberately. Check all wheel bearings and apply a small amount of grease to the seals , shafts , etc. when you reassemble.

In Ky that is Valhalla !

Well , the Southern yanks (if there is such a thang) call them "tits" .
