    Fork service.

    1981 GS1100EX I've removed the front wheel and begin polishing the forks, The left one is pretty much stripped and looking pretty good, I replaced the pulsing rotors with new Niche rotors which I'll check for run-out and have noticed the forks are a bit notchy.
    I checked partzilla and didn't find a pair of steering stem bearings so I ordered one of the thousands of sets of All Balls on the internet. The wheel bearings are new recently and I'll replace the fork oil while I'm at it.
    Anything else I need to check or be aware of? I've done a few Honda's and have a Haynes manual.
