How to Straighten Motorcycle Front End ? Wrecked Yamaha R1 Rebuild - Part 8

We carry on with the wrecked R1 rebuild! Today we put back the rear subframe, with the battery box, relay holder, and harness. I take advantage working on the bike to fit the clutch cover freshly repainted on the engine. And I want to make sure my forks haven’t turned in the triple clamps or are set in an off position because of the wheel axle and/or the front fender. So I tell how to straighten a motorcycle front end: I loosen the lower triple clamp, wheel axle, calipers and front fender so that there is no stress on the forks. Shake the bike when it’s vertical and tighten everything back in place in the right order. Oh, I also needed to paint the upper triple clamp so it’s in a finishing worthy of the rest of the bike, that bike will purr soon… Join me in my projects: http://bit.ly/2Wd2L5Y Live updates of the build on Instagram:   / tristandurandbuilds   Links of parts and tools used in this video: Sandpaper fine grit for dry or wet sanding: https://amzn.to/3j7ZqxF Sanding sheets for Black & Decker Mouse Sander: https://amzn.to/36bbDha Self-etching primer (pack of 6): https://amzn.to/346amWl or here https://ebay.to/2S0R3In Black matte spray paint: https://amzn.to/2G626gN 2K clear coat in matte: https://ebay.to/3mXFZcY or a case of 6 for half the price: https://ebay.to/369e18n Motorcycle scissor lift: https://ebay.to/3bG20bc Hi I'm Tristan! I live in New York and when I'm not working on my fitness clothing line (https://yoked.net) I DIY with intensity 😅 For now, I restore wrecked motorcycles. So I disassemble, weld, machine and fix those bikes so they can go back on the road!
