when re-fitting front forks to my redslut (the F3's I bought), what is the correct sequence??

I will measure the mm the OEMS stick out from the handle bars

Measure the length if the OEM fork leg and the F3 as to determin how much less the F3 should stick out

Tighten the top clamp bolts that hold the fork legs, then the lower ones

Insert the axle (using the F3 axle that I got as well)

and then??

Tight to spec the front axle

bounce the front a few times

then tighten to spec the 4 (2 each) pinch bolts on the lowet part of the legs?

And once in, how much sag should I aim for?

I will fit the forks with the pre-loads all the way out and work from there.
