    78E Fork Cap

    Anyone have a 78E fork cap for sale?
    I'm tearing down a 78E I acquired a while ago and found a surprise under one of the fork cap rubber covers:



    I cut the groove on the left side, used an automatic center punch at the outermost edge to shock it, then a couple of whacks against a screwdriver in the groove and it came right out.

    I don't know how it's possible to do this much damage...

      Thanks Phil, if you find you have an extra you can spare, give me a price + shipped (Westerville, OH 43081) and how you want paid (Paypal?).

      The bike is torn down to the frame, so no rush.
