Fork stanchion retained bush/valve thingy.
« on: 15 September 2018, 08:53:33 pm »
Hello, I stripped my forks down for a clean, re-seal and taffy up the paintwork. Just curious to know if the item fitted in the internal bore arrowed (not the split bush) on the photo is removable as I can't see any internal fastener and the stanchion end is swaged over. I wondered what needs to be done come the time the stanchions need renewal with aftermarket items.

The item fitted in the internal bore marked with a arrow is not renewable.
