There should be 2 black phillips screws one on each upper cover, that keeps them from turning. Look down at the bottom of the cover for a tab, and a hole that corresponds to it in the lower clamp cover...The fork tubes MUST be equal heights in the upper clamp.

Have put the front forks back in the triple trees  as part of a major overhaul.

Do the soup can covers immediately under the lower triple tree normally rotate freely - part 44033-1241 ?

I pushed the forks up as hard as i could but could only get them 1 - 1.5mm from being level with the top triple tree, instead of 0 - .5mm as per manual.  How critical is it to have the fork ends level with the top ?

This could explain the looseness, but they resist being pushed further up. I did not notice during dis-assembly, if they had movement.

If the cans usually move, then I'll leave the forks as they are. If anyone can give their's a twist to confirm - I'd much appreciate it. Thanks
