[Need advice on Raising the forks please]

Thanks for the reply. I finally removed the front tire and fender - they moved real easy after that. Now to rebuild the fairing.

[Need advice on Raising the forks please]

I recently installed the Barons lowering kit and have followed the posted instructions (I think) to lower the front end. I am having a problem at the last step where I slide the forks up - they won't slide - up or down. I loosened the bottom clamp bolts - then removed them and no movement at all. I can turn them around but not up or down. I see something smeared on the fork just above the bottom clamp. I hate to think it might be some kind of glue. My understanding was they moved easily and they don't. I am stuck -literally.

Any tips or advice you can share at this point are greatly appreciated.
