How to take forks off a CB900 Hornet?
Can anyone point me to some material or general idea of how to take the forks out from a CB900 Hornet? This is with the view of sending them to someone to work on.

Take plenty of photos for reference and just start unbolting stuff. You'll eventually get the forks out and will most likely learn alot in the process.

Do not, as I have already told you, accept advice from either myself or aff-man...
Our little adventure. Bit of info in there too.
Basically... don't expect 100% success by holding the handlebars... but by all means invite me round to watch

Hey there, do you by any chance have the rest of the service manual?
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Big xx birdie man
how are you going to suport the bike once you have the front end off?
I jacked my rf up and put v shape axle stands on each side of the motor ( no center stand :-(
that shifted the weight to the rear of the bike and lets you slide the forks out.
dont know if there is anywere you can safely jack the cb900 onto, main thing is to stop it falling over! so 1 under the motor wont do it! been there done that with other bikes! need to spread the load as wide as possible.
good luck!
its Crazy Big Al but if your have lesbian fantasies you can read it crazy bi gal if you like!
gee wizzz
Its VERY VERY easy--first off-you buy a paddock stand and front stem stand off of FROSTY. Put the bike on the rear stand then lift the front end with the stem stand.
undoo the caliper bolts -remove calipers.
Undoo front axle and remove front wheel.
At this point you need to think what you're doing-if its a simple fork height adjustment then loosen the upper triple clamp bolts then the lower bolts
just ease the lower bolts so theres a tiny bit of stiction.
you can now tap the forks up and down.
If its a strip down then remove the fork brace first then drop the forks individually -
