Ordered a heavy duty springer fork with disk brake adaptor so have to pull the old fork out.

These bearings have to be like 50 years old so I got new ones with new grease.

The stalk is about an inch too long so I cut it down.

Also ran into a problem with the rear sprocket, the inner hole is too small to clear the hub. Thankfully my work has a mini machine shop.

It’s not a well equipped shop so I couldn’t just drill out the hole in one go but it’s better than a dremel.

Next roadblock, the front hub won’t accept the disk, so I’ll either have to replace the hub or get a new wheel.
