    front fork reassembly

    So, I finally got fork seals for my 1977GS550, after getting burned on ebay. Problem is, I didn't take any picts of the forks before I took them apart. I looked on the online manual, but it doesn't break it down enuf. I did a search for the front forks, but all I found was a nice exploded pict for shocks for a 1983 model. Anyone out there got an exploded view of a complete front shock for my model?
    Thanks. I prob would have been ok if I didn't have to order another set of seals and wait all that time

      I did download it before, but it wasn't exploded enuf. I have 2 springs (long and short) that came out of the tubes, I don't know where some of the washers go eg..between them, on the top of them. The exploded view I did find only showed 1 long spring. I'm pretty sure they are stock.

        Go to Alpha Sports or Bike Bandit and walk through the search for the diagram you need. It will show every part in the fork.

        Ohhh never mind....Ill do it for you.
