You're too kind.
As you will have seen from my post on LCGB my concern was that by removing various bolts from the forks it would disturb the buffers or worse the fork links would spring out. The bolts are all new and stainless so shouldn't be any seized up.
Taking things apart is my speciality - it's getting them back together I struggle with. but I think it should be OK.
If I'm in any doubt I'll give you a bell.
Happy New Year to you,

I found it easier to leave the front wheel in-situ and work on one side at a time- a bit fiddly but the "good" side supports the side you are working on and reduces link movement.

As I said, if you need..............

See you at the AGM?

Glad you said you left the wheel in - couldn't see any need to remove it apart from ease of access, and with outboard disc I prefer not to.
Will have a go and send an SOS if I end up with a box of bits !!
Will be at the AGM so see you there.

only need to remove the wheel if you need to get a drift in behind to ease the bolt out. As its only 3 years or so since it was built they should come out OK.

Undo the nut at the back, then clamp a mole wrench on the front and ease out
