Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Those are not OEM fork caps. You will have to take them off before you can slide the tubes out of the triple clamps. The easiest way is to clamp the fork tube using the lower triple to prevent it spinning, then remove the cap. Be careful as the cap comes near the end of its thread engagement, if the spring still has preload against the cap it will want to tear out the last couple threads and pop loose. Push down on the cap as you unscrew it to prevent this.

Lol I have no idea. Old guy from my church asked me if I wanted a motorcycle so I said sure...this the way she came. Couple other weird things on it too. 4 into 1 exhaust (off an 850??) and the previous owner to the guy that hooked me up painted a bunch of it black with a brush...there was a pressure gauge on the left side fork cap. Seemed weird to me.
