I just put them together today and slapped them in the trees. Tomorrow I'll bolt all the tupperware back on and figure out where the wires aren't supposed to go. -

Loctite 38657 High Flex Gasket Maker. This is some good stuff. Install your o-rings and then put a thin bead of this around the o-ring.l http://www.jbtoolsales.com/media/ecom/prodlg/LCT-38657.jpg -
Mr. Myers came to my rescue by fabbing up a seal driver for 43mm forks. This driver will be passed around to other members who want to work on 2nd gen forks. 1 side drives in the bushing and seal, the other side drives in the dust seal. Ruffy is first on the list. *edited for mor guder picshures.

You need an impact driver set. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00999001000P?sid=IDx20070921x00003a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=00999001000P http://s.shld.net/is/image/Sears/00999001000?hei=248&wid=248&op_sharpen=1&resMode=sharp&op_usm=0.9,0.5,0,0

If your near a Harley dealer, you could probably pick up a set of take off's from a touring model. They're not any louder than stock, just a different tone. You'll have to fab up some mounting brackets for them.- 10 replies

I don't know about Kawasaki, but Yamaha puts a nikasil or ceramic coating on the cylinders. I have a set of jugs off a Roadstar with 40,000+ miles on it and there is no ring ridge and the cross hatching is still visible. -

I believe they are. I'll have to check. -
Ok, a little searching answered the question. If you're willing to drop down a size to a 130/90-16, I think this would work. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/29/393/14941/ITEM/Duro-HF-904-Median-Dual-Sport-Rear-Tire.aspx

What size tire does a 1st gen run? 140/90-16?

What did you use to drive in the bushing and seal? I can't find a PVC pipe the proper size and I'd hate to sink $40+ into a tool that I'm only going to use once.

I ended up securing my chrome piece with velcro.
