I've always used ATF fluid in the forks of all my bikes. It seems to work well and it's inexpensive.

Report back once everything is finished.
It's a deal. And I hope the progress on your bike is going well.
Was just noticing in the Tech Digest (just finally found it.... I'd misplaced the thing), a section entitled Front Fork Lubricants. It recommends 150cc per fork of a 30W; it lists the factory recommendations, but then goes on to say that they won't work nearly as well as modern fork oils such as Bel Ray or Kal-Gard 30W. It goes on to say that "20W can cause topping or bottoming in warm climates."
There may be some disagreement on this, I take it(?).

fastback said:ps - rechroming the triples was much cheaper than new (and quite sharp looking) - just make sure threads and bearing seats are well masked off.

NICE pictures fastback. If I can get a price like Coco on rechroming, I may just do that. I'll try to post pictures of their current condition later tonight.
L.A.B. mentions the Covenant Damper Conversion.... I've read something about that (maybe on this list a few months ago). Recommended? Or not that a big a difference?

Items marked as 7 and 3 (and the two identical parts shown in the left of the photo) are the Covenant damper conversion kit and are not original parts.

It's probably not worth it for you to send them up to Calgary but other Canadians might be interested in a chroming facility and this one might be near them.
Wrench, that pic of your bike on that jack look strangely familiar.I still have my forks on but it looks like our two little cash-suckers are in the same state.
