14. fork off (well the lugs anyway)








 
  B4


 Here we have a R6 Yamaha fork leg (you guessed it another  ebay "bargain").
As front brakes are not used
the lugs are surplus unsprung weight. I dont want to be dragging these useless lumps around a race track all year they can be discarded.

Steady in vice and hack away at the freeloaders.

Shorn of lugs

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tidy up in lathe. Did you know fork sliders are oval. No i didn't either.

Obviously time to do the other one now - must dash
