Well it's a super simple bike to be cleaning up
Are you going to do the fork seals? If so, pyramidparts in NZ can supply seals, they're pretty fast delivery and great price. Haven't had any issues with the products they've supplied me.
Their seal kits even come with little tubes of rubber grease, handy stuff

Funny you should mention that , we were going to do them, but the local bike guys said they were fine, but we DID want to replace the fork oil and we dont know if we need to remove the seals to do that. We need to find out how to remove the oil and that will tell us if we are going to do seals. if we can get the oil out and not do seals, we wont at this time as they are fine, per the bike shop in PBay.

Two normal ways to remove oil, you may have a drain bolt on the side at the bottom near the axle.
Or you have to remove the top cap, and if you have the forks out you might as well put new seals and retaining clips in, cheap and easy

Seal kit should be about $15 plus postage

cool thanks mate, thats what we though about draining them,

these nuts on the top are the only ones we have found on the forks



we are going to have to figure out a way to hold the top tube still though to keep it from turning while we get the nut off though.

for a car mechanic you would think its simple, leave the fork in the triple tree and crack
it.. then remove from the triple tree..

oh ffs, I did not think if that, shows why I am not the mechanic, I asked the question here before I talked to the wife (who is the mechanic) about it, if I has done the opposite I am sure it never would have come up.
