    Okay got it. I will take one of mine apart tomorrow and look at it and take a picture of it. I think it will be worth it for you and anybody else that might need an answer to that question. won't be until after 2pm EST since i won't get back from church until 12pm MST. Bill

    Okay..still a little confused on your question and we may have to turn this into a phone call tomorrow. But if you are talking about the part name the cylinder in the first attachment below and the part number 12.42 in the 2nd attachment, then yes it has a beveled end that after the oil lock is installed it bevels down to a pointier end and is flush with where the bottom bolt ( part #10.49 ) in the 2nd attachment bolts in. Sorry I'm so slow in understanding exactly what you are asking... but if you want to talk about that 'Life is like a box of chocolates" I can have that discussion easy. Bill

    Gary, All my pieces fit well together, once I figured it out. The 5th picture does show how it should set in. I could drop the seal plate in from the top and let it slide all the way down and I could see from the bottom hole that it appeared flush with the inside bottom of tube. The oil lock sits on the top with the 3 washers on top of it. I believe mine is original since nothing appeared to have ever been apart, I apologize for not completely understanding your request for pictures. I have taken some ( below) of my lower forks. If you want some others, just explain to me s l o w l y what you want and I will to get them posted.

    Got them back together and the bushings are now level with the lower lip. Will try the seals again tomorrow. Thanks for all the help and special thanks for the phone conversations with Rocket who helped walk me through a few spots.

    Thanks.. I overlooked that part. 6 hours today and I am actually further behind then when I started today. I have to break the uppers and lowers apart again, this time without hurting the new seal to put it back together with the bushing in place.

    Okay all; They did fit and install correctly at the very bottom. The oil lock/taper spindle fit together with it. For future reference, since that piece needs to be installed first, prior to the upper tubes and the assembly, I took a large paper clip and created a circle on the top portion and straightened the rest out straight. By feeding it down through the bottom hole, i was able to then bend the rest of the lip to hold it in place. Once I fed the assembly in with the oil lock and washers greased to hole them in place, I was able to pulled the paper clip out and connect the piece with the assembly. Got that ? Exam at 11:00. OKAY Got a new problem. Beside the high blood pressure this has caused me today. I was trying to install the seals. I couldn't get the seal to go down past the top of the lower tube. I looked at the other side and realized that the small floating bushing was sticking half way up into the seal area. I tried lightly tapping it but it didn't move down. Blood pressure moved up. SOooooo.... I now have to take the one upper and lower apart to remove the seal, and how do I get the bushings where they belong ? Are they binding on something ? Hard to take a picture but I tried below. In the picture you can see the bushing sticking up.

    Okay..another question... I was laying out the pieces..the many ..many pieces... and there are two pieces that came flying out when the upper and lower forks separated. I can not locate or identify where they go from the diagram below. They are a cup looking / flying saucer looking piece with a small rubber seal around the edge. I found and added another diagram...trying to ID that piece.. It looks like the very bottom piece in the lower forks that the "taper spindle" or as some have called it the "oil lock" would match up to. But I don't see it on the diagram.

    Thanks... I might be getting spoiled having the Dingy Parts House at my beck and call. We need to open a tab... I'm going in with the WD-40 and hammer....wish me luck...If i'm not back in 4 hours send help....

    He probably doesn't understand that one yet... but that was funny... When I was looking to buy a Venture, I rode one with the second gear slip/pop out and it was down right scary !

    Re-read my post and realized I didn't explain my question very well. The two air "valves"? that are on the upper tubes above the lower portion of the triple tree are rock solid with no apparent way to remove them. I have the forks off the bike. Is it worth removing them to install the seals or am I just asking for more repairs and parts to put it back together ? Thanks Bill

    So ..is there a way to take off the cross bar where the air lines hook into ? I cannot figure out how that is attached to the upper forks.

    You left out the fact that you don't have $15,000 of electronics to go bad.

    Gonna get boring fast . All we can talk about is what caliber of a car the Chrysler Crossfire is. Which brings up the Dodge Caliber which usually got discharged to the junk yard . Dodge Magnum is a hot load when it fires off the starting line. The Dodge Colt was a small caliber player in the automotive firing line . The Chevy Berretta was a much more accurate shot at the buying public then the AMC Martin. VEGAS HAS 13:1 odds that by 5:18pm EST the thread killers of the 1st n 2nd Amendments will shoot this thread down and bury it with the others.

    My friend has a beautiful 83 blonde that spent most of its life in a collection . But its probably 3000 miles from there and he wouldn't have anything to ride. Wonder if they pay for shipping .

    Thinking more like 1st Gen = 57 Chevy. 2nd Gen = Chevy Vega. Just saying .......
