Not sure what happened there, are they working now? I modified the post.

yup, they're showing now.
you'll have to wait and see once it's together...and check to see if it binds up at all. It shouldn't, but check for resistance once you get it all back together.
Upper and lower shock bearings never last that long anyways....they're so small, and take an extreme amount of punishment.
The best thing(s) you can do are...remove the shock/linkage every once and awhile and re-grease it...keep pressure washing to a minimal around the linkage and anywhere where there's a bearing...and try not to use soaps and degreasers when you wash it...because they will find their way in there, and break down the grease.

Thanks for the advice Foxx. I will check it out once I have it together.
SOHC:
good job on the wheel, that looks realy nice,
I found the best way to cleen a pipe is with a big LPG burner, the type they use for weed burning.

Thanks SOHC, yea I am still waiting to get it trued. Can't wait to get that done because then I can finish up the front wheel completely. Thanks for the advice, but decided to leave the inside of the pipe, doesn't seem too bad and don't have any burners at my disposal. All my other plans failed, so just gave it a good pressure wash to get most dirt out from standing. About half way with cleaning the outside. Will post some before and after photos when I'm done.
