Figure 64—Compressing Cushion Springs for Spring Fork Assembly
(10) Install front mudguard. Attach two screws, washers, and nuts for rigid fork mounting and two bolts, washers, and nuts for headlight bracket mounting. Fit right and left mudguard brace clip locks to right and left side rocker plate studs respectively. Do not put on nuts until after installing ammunition box carrier and scabbard carrier.
(11) Install front wheel (par. [125]).
(12) Install scabbard carrier and ammunition box carrier (par. [103]).
(13) Check lights, horn, spark control, throttle control, front brake control, steering damper control, and steering head bearing for freedom without binding.
i. Remove Rocker Plate Studs. Studs and/or rocker plates can be removed and installed in the same operation. In removing and installing studs, remove only one fork rocker plate at a time, leaving the other plate attached to opposite side fork ends to hold fork springs in compressed position. This will eliminate necessity of compressing fork springs to fit rocker plates on studs.
(1) Remove front wheel (par. [125]).
