Hi,
I'm having a problem with my RH fork slider. I rebuilt the forks with new stanchions, seals, bushes etc and had a lovely powder coating job done on my sliders.
After filling with oil I had a small weep (no not just because of the price of the build so far) of fork oil from the lower RH side. I thought it was the drain screws so got new ones and seals, fitted it all together again, refilled and hey presto - still leaking. It looks like it's coming from the spindle clam pmounting bolt. On removing this I suspect a bolf has been too far in at some point and broken through into the inside of the slider - Grrr.
If I could just find a replacement slider I'd swap it out as I suspect it'd be a very tricky repair (sealing up the bottom of a tapped hole!).
I'm struggling to identify the slider. I will stick up a picture once it's off the bike but does this help identify?
Standard stanchion, seals and bushes as per all the A10 tele forks
has 8" FW alloy hub SLS
Brake plate locating lug (no brace arm)
bottom cup clamp with 2 bolts up into the slider
mudgaurd mount is a bracket going back to the engine side with 2 holes
and mudguard mounts to the bottom of the fork with a lug front and back fore and aft of the (plain) spindle
To all intents and purposes it looks externally very similar to a 97-2504 (A65 unit) which is the closest I can see from looking at images - at least in terms of lugs and brackets. It may well be different sizes and lengths as I have no measurements to compare.
Any suggestions welcome.
Also I'll probably take it off soon - where will the part number be stamped - to save me getting the whole thing blasted?
I've not gone by year or specific model because I've I've not come across 2 things from the same bike yet (it's a bitsa).
Thanks in advance
Raymond.
