Changing fork oil and seals

Replaced fork seals and cleaned out fork internals. Carl helped.  Brenton let us use the SAE shop to do the work. The left fork was rusted and corroded inside. We cleaned both forks out and flushed them with new oil. The manual had an error in it that led us to reassemble the forks incorrectly. They were too raked out which made it impossible to reassemble the bike and also caused there to be no damping. We had to come back the following day to finish the job as we had been in the shop from 6pm to almost 2am. The following day, we were able to completely disassemble and reassemble the forks and put them back on the bike in only a couple of hours.
