I've done them on my '92 Honda Shadow. The toughest part was the allen bolt
on the bottom, was Damn tight.

Thanks.
It worked out too, I ran it up to operating temp before I finished putting
it together and couldn't find any leaks. Did it again after reassembly and
couldn't find any leaks.
Was cleaning up the work area when I realized that one of the fork seals
must have COMPLETELY let go, oil had puddled on the tire. At first I thought
it was brake fluid but after further inspection I don't think so since the
caliper seems dry and still has good braking action. I had fork seals put in
a couple years ago but I think they were probably aftermarket. I'm figuring
I need 'em again, will source them from the Kawasaki dealer this time.
Anybody ever done fork seals? Is it a hard job?

If you've never seen one motorcycle starters are interesting, and this
one especially because it's chain drive. Its got a non-reversing (my
term, I don't know the proper one)
Sprag or overrunning clutch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprag_clutch
Anyway, not MB but quite satisfying.
Contratulations!
