Thanks for the clue on the spinning bolts exavid, yes it did work,and I would never have got it out without the above advice. I prefer the Suzuki and Yamaha female hex in the damper tube. at least it can be held steady while gunning off the bolt.

The forks are back in the frame, now for the coolant change, oil change and some more lecky work.

Re the topic recently on fork boots.
To preserve the new seals better, I have mounted a set of boots to my forks.

Kurt,

Where did you get the gaiters? While it is a PITA to add them after the fact, I think that they would be a good addition.

Local bike shop. they were marked "CB750 Honda /Norton Comando".
They were the only ones avail, and I may replace them with imports from USA in the near future. The correct size is 41 ID and 63 OD and total length of 170mm. the ones I got are a bit long and tight. If they don't bind I'll leave them on.
They are barely visible with the Swing sitting on the ground. Those pics were taken while it was jacked up.
