Fork installation ST1100

[DeanR]

Just did a fork swap and can't find my notes for tightening things back up for proper alignment. Everything is back together, just need to tighten all bolts in the correct order. Mainly concerned with the triple tree pinch bolts and the top pinch bolts.

I did one lower on the triple 1st so that I could set the height of the fork tube.
The bottom held the tube so I could torque the top.

That's what I did too! Just changed fork seals and oil.
