Title: Leading axle Ceriani forks
Post by: Bill Campbell on March 13, 2014, 06:41:38 AM
Just purchased some leading axle Cherries for my 76 400 project. One of the forks is leaking from between the bottom metal hex nut? and the fork body. Does this nut? unscrew to reveal an O ring that needs replacing. Would like some advice before I give a go. Cheers Bill

Bill,

Yes the nut does un-screw and there is an o-ring that can be replaced.  The photo below shows the 2 plugs that insert into the sliders under the large nut style cap on the bottom of each slider.
