Front Forks Rebuild
During ourMexican-Dragon Trip, a front fork seal failed and started leaking fork oil. And before long it ran dry and the fork started clanking. Not good.
Do one fork at a time.
Whoever rebuilt these forks before I bought the bike, added this extra spacer. And that caused the seals to fail.

Tom's Cycle The writing on the fork seals is on the top side, and goes up. Crack the Allen bolt before removing the fork. Don't use thread-locker on the Allen bolt.

Fork inspection with magnifying glass. Turns out, just scratches on the powder coat.
