(4) 51412-311-003 RING, BACK UP
It's shown under the seal (77's and 78's).

It's been a few years, but for the 78 there was one part I couldn't get. I think it was
(7) 51437-371-003 RING, PISTON
It was a maroon color and looked like a piece of Rulon bearing material with a cut in one side at a 45° angle. I just put the old ones back in.

Installing new fork seals = 1000x easier than getting the old ones out. Wheels back on the thing for the first time in years, I once again have a roller

A bike that rolls is a huge win over one that does not. Hope it also has a side stand but the center stand is good enough.

You should remember that it's peace of mind you're after and not just fixing the machine. R.Pirsig

Cheers fellas, feels like I've made a bit of progress over the last week. January can be a bit of a drag (a mate told me the other day it felt like it was January 47th) but at least there's a bike-shaped bike now. Right now it's up on its centre stand and a jack (which I love, definitely money well spent) but yeah it has a side stand too
