Hello there,
Don't know if you had the same problem when rebuilding your fork ( 93'Bullet), but I had troubles to have the stud going out the hole in the fork end. So, here is what I did : thread the stud with a 10mm tap, long enough to support a bolt, that I tightened with a spacer (in the "bush removal manner"), and that was that, finished in 5 mn for the 2 legs. Accessoirely, I read somewhere that when you do a fork drain, you have to push the stud to drain the whole oil. Is it true (I'm more familiar with the CO parallelogram fork..) ? In that case, the thread will permit me to center the famous stud.
