Lower Inner Fork Tube '06

[dannymax]

I've been curious about what the inside of the '06 fork tube looks like....there's some stuff in there that appears to be non-removable but will spin smoothly inside the tube when rotated.

So I cut the bottom of the tube off and split it in half....here's what it looks like.

The white piece is called either the oil lock piece or the spindle taper, and that can be removed/replaced. The other things appear to be placed in machined recess's with the ends rolled over to keep them in place and cannot be removed.

Garrett, the pics are of the bottom 2" of the inner fork tube part #8 or #28 for the '06. The pieces shown in the pics are not listed on the fiche because they are sealed in the tube and cannot be removed or replaced.
