The post mentions the "R65 Technical FAQ/Procedures" section so that might be a good place to look...

Honest...it's not that hard, just time consuming the first time around.

Is anybody going to put this steering head bearing lube post/faq into the Wiki?  Or, if Sue will zip up the pictures, e-mail them to me, and say where to put them in the text I'll do it when/if I get time...

I was going to do it before i put the bike up for winter,and i tested the steering movement when the weather was really cold,the steering became very stiff with the drop in temp,but now it falls to either side real easy,thanks for your article,i didn't even need to look at my manual,just follwed the instructions. :)
