@zmilin
1.) lift the bike about 20" from the ground and put a support underneath the front wheel,
2.) drain the hand brake fluid !!
3.)remove the brake line from the calipter
4.) remove the cable from the speedometer
5.) loose the four Allen screws, 2ea located on the upper front and 2ea on the lower back of the triple tree.
6.) if no helper around, remove the wheel support with one foot (not both..)
and on the same time with your free hands hold tight the fork,above the fender and then let it slide down.. slowly..slowly.
sound complicated but isn't.
....did forgot something?...
anyway, It toke me about 1 and 1/2 hour to do that.
of course, do the vice versa to reassemble the whole thing.
the naked fork tube is 41 mm on diameter
@exile:
no problem at all with handling at low speed
I'd lower the back with a pair of Hagon rear shocks 270mm ( 1.2" less then the original length)
of course the bike is more harder and a bit "stiffer" now, but is ok for my style of (easy)riding...
