    Has anyone done this before? I currently have the forks off for service and the clamp bolts for the steering head are right there..
    If anyone has done this, how did you jack/lift the front end to check and adjust? I have the front stand in place but i think all the weight has to be off it to check and adjust? Any input is appreciated. Might as well do this stuff while she's asleep for the winter.
