JWestland, thanks so much for sharing! Have the very same bike and fork for 20 long years, approx. 50K Km and 1!!! service for the fork. Now - still smooth - the lockout is not as tight as it used to be and I feel I should go ahead and fix it myself... I read through the few sources I could find out there and yours definitely is the most helpful one to me!
One question I still have (just to be safe): when opening the fork from the top I do not take off the massive nut, that holds the lockout (image attached), right? But start with the Parktool SPA-1 (?!) to open the fork?
I hope I did not miss that part in your documentation and would appreciate your brief reply :) Oh and one more thing: even though you're mentioning Germany as THE place to stock Headshok tools from I cannot find any shop around here (particularly Berlin area) to purchase a castle nut tool from that fitting to the Super D as well as a Ultra DLR) - anyone out there with an idea?!
