New Member 1972 Speedway Red Baron want to detail

[dugm00]

hi dugm00 here, I loved these mini bikes as a kid, now that I am a big kid, I can afford ? them. I just bought a 1972 Speedway Red Baron, not running yet. I need to replace the front fork seals. I have the seals from ebay. how do you get them off, what type of fork oil do I use and any tricks on making this a "painless" project. Another question, the rear wheel spacers, does the shorter one go on the sprocket side and the larger one go on the brake hub side ? where does the horn mount to ? thank you. dug

Horn is mounted to gas tank front bolt on the side below top of tank. I think they switch it to the inside of the frame facing foward. Spacers just line up the brakes and rear sprocket to jackshaft gear. I would shine that beauty and get her running. Nice bike!!!
