Honda CR fork caps
How the #@%& do you get the fork cap off the 77 CR 125 ? It has a cap that will push down about 1/4 in to barely expose a spring clip that has no bend or resess to get an awl behind it. I can not hold down the cap with one hand and try to work under the clip. A tool like the CZ clutch pin tool would help with the leverage. Anyone have the proper technique or do I have to break down and ask my wife to hold it down?

Ask her Paul!! My kids are experts at pulling the retaining rings while I compress the springs on an old set of Curnutts that need reservicing almost every time I ride them.

Just like in the 70's Disco era:
It takes two, baby, it takes twoooo....

an awl is too fat. you have to use a pick. BITD I would use a t-handle to push down and then reach in with the pick and just dig it out, piece of cake. Always did it by myself.

Then come on over and bake for me!! I have the Stainless dental picks and am about to go Marathon Man on these caps. I have a T phillips that fits the caps little center recess but can not hold it down and dig the clip out. I can't seem to get over or under the clip. I remember some Goki design idiots had air caps that once installed made it impossible to reach the clip.
I hate being weak.

I have to admit I'm not a super fan of Hannah, but I did see some of the greatest come from behind rides from him. I know Johnny O' put in a great `125 ride in the MXD on a dry track, but I got to see Hannah's 125(a true 125!) ride in the mud and hi…
No Thats Keith at Mosier getting the starting gate holeshot. Keith rumor has it that your famous starting gate holeshot is how you broke your leg. No wonder Talbot used to chase you all around mosier

cut the crap! Hannah..., the best MX'er of all time?!?!?!? uh-oh, I have a little bit of vomit in my mouth!
short list of better, faster guys: Robert, DeCoster, Mikkola. there's more, too!

Un freakin believeable! It is still in such excellent condition!! I still have my original 1969 and 1970 monthly sales sheet with the invoice # listed on it. I'll skan it and send it to you. Let me know when there is another VJMC gathering. Maybe I'…
Yes it is. That was the bike you sold to my dad. It is unrestored. This was taken a couple of years ago at Up "N" Smoke in Keller at a VJMC gathering. That's one of Tony's Z-1's in the background..
Bill, I second that. Hance, you're OK, even though you laughed so hard at me last year when I missed the berm and crashed my XR100 in front of you. Your entry fee is certainly a nice gesture for Stacy. I'm sure he will appreciate it. It's things lik…
Rick, is that the same bike I think it is?
Mark, it's been 41 years now, so my memory aint as sharp as it maybe once was (If it ever was) and maybe you influenced me and Greg to learn how to ride the uni-cycles............. No wonder you were so much better on your uni-cycle than we were !!!…
No wonder you were always so fast.While we were on tricycles,you were on a unicycle.It just ain't fair !!!
I must have never told Joe, but I had a unicycle when I was a kid. Seems like your your balance is so much better when your young that it is easier to pick up when your a kid. There were 2 other kids in the hood that rode them, and we all rode them…
Thank you, Mike. Send it to Walden or Craig. Do I hear $105 from anyone? 110? How much would someone pay NOT to see me in the Pink Thong again?
Yeah,but it looks like it came easily !!!!
Craig- I think 68 or 69- not sure though.
David Donaldson used to MX some in the Metroplex area, and Craig on a day like to day Bishop would be covering that head with a toboggan- a stocking cap for any yankees out there . Miller and Gotschall are CC guys.
Mom & Pop were big into the Elks lodge, and every year they would have a Christmas program for under privileged kids, and I was drafted into clowning.
Mr.Hance !!! You're the Man.We'll look for you at the Banquet.Take care.
I can't make it but please sign me up for $100 entry, and let me know where to send my entry fee!
