[QUOTE="A-BCD, post: 32029, member: 50"] I recently did this on my B Rapide, having changed the UFM. Just remove the headclip nut FT238 and the padbolt FT217, and the forkspring top nut. You can then lift the top fork yoke and bearing cup off the steering stem. Helps fitting to jack the front of the bike up a bit. Slide the fork stem up from below into the steering head, don't forget to line up the steering damper FT127 with the slot in the steering head !! I did mine single-handed with the wheel, mudguards, handlebars etc. all still fitted, but a second set of hands is always useful !! I have a Woodhead-Munroe hydraulic damper / spring unit but the standard fork spring shouldn't cause any problems as far as I can see.
