Here's a pic of the parts in the lower fork tubes in order as they came out, I like too
take pics as I go so I don't get stuck putting things back together. Thought it would be
helpful here to someone.

CORRECTION, Just got a PM from Carl, he says if this is the way the parts came out that it was put together wrong at some point, Thank's Carl, He is looking out for his flock. :hpdc: I will post a corrected pic as soon as I call Carl and find out what order they go in.

Good thing you posted that picture ain't it? It is sad when you can't even be sure something you take apart was put together right before you. I guess the lesson here is to refer to the assembly diagrams, the manual, and the great folks on the forum when you are working on your bike.

Here's the corrected order of the valve parts as sent to me from Carl.

after looking at them this way it looks a lot better, Carl said it they was built like in the
1st pic it would be a very rough ride, it wasn't, must have been my bad. Thanks Carl. :clap:
