I certainly did. So I stripped the front end to change the steering head bearings and look what I found: This time I used a trick I read about on-line to remove the races- weld a bead around the inner diameter of the races and they just fell out. I've had a horrible time doing this on other bikes. The factory bearing was crap. It had a plastic roller cage, SKF made in Brazil. I'm sending the forks off to Terry Hayes Shock Treatment for his upgrade mod. I was going to do the YZ conversion using Aquatic's kit but it got a bit costly after buying forks, then re-building them plus the kit cost. Craig's work looks awesome though. I considered drop-in cartridges but again, too spendy. Quoted around $2k. Next up the rear end...
