Excellent video and advice. I did a mechanical restoration on an old abandoned gl1000 a few years ago. I skipped the forks but the time has finally come to do them properly.
I just watched a new episode on Brick House Builds TH-cam channel that showed how to eliminate the air charge pre-loads on The front forks. Might be worth a watch 👍🏻
@@VJMotoRestoAnother great video thanks. My Ltd has Progressive front and rear. I look forward to seeing how you install these for my own reference! Many thanks once again. V enjoyable

Yeah I saw that as well! I'm going to rebuild these forks with progressive springs and spacer for preload.
Good choice on the inserts@@VJMotoResto 👍

Written in one of the older manuals is the addition of a vw valve spring , mine has something that resembles one .
Interesting! So a small spring on top of the main one to provide preload I guess.
As a general 'rule-of-thumb'..... the tight winds of the spring go to the axle side.
