In this video, we continue the restoration project of the Minsk motorcycle. The focus is on repairing the front fork, preparing the parts for painting, and assembling the wheels. I detail technical nuances such as replacing seals, lacing the wheels, and installing bearings, sharing my experience and mistakes made. Video Highlights: [00:00] — Introduction and inspection of fork components. The author shows the painted fork cups and discusses the condition of the springs, choosing the best ones available. [01:43] — Assembling the fork legs. Installing the bushings, retaining rings, and lubricating the components with power steering fluid (ATF). [03:09] — Working with the damper mechanism. Sorting pistons and springs, replacing worn parts, and installing the mechanism into the tubes. [08:50] — Installing the seals. Pressing two oil seals into a single seal for better sealing and installing a felt ring. [13:52] — Preparing the fenders and hub for painting. Cleaning parts, filling dents, and applying primer to the front and rear fenders. [18:45] — Painting "Blueberry." Applying the base color (metallic) and varnishing the parts. The author is pleased with the result. [22:19] — Installing the steering head. Assembling the ball bearings (19 balls in each cage) and installing the triple clamps on the frame. [26:45] — Final assembly of the front fork. Installing the stays into the triple clamps, adding oil (150 ml in each stay), and tightening the plugs. [30:41] — Working on the rear wheel. Pressing the bearings into the hub and installing the spacer sleeve. [33:11] — Wheel lacing. The process of assembling the rim with new spokes, discussing spoke thickness issues, and centering the rim (eliminating the "figure eight" and "egg" problems).

The motorcycle is taking shape, and now it's ready to be moved around the garage.
