Just received the new pin for the fork and decided instead of machining
a modified pin as described in the Buckeye Triumph tech pages, I would
try a bushing in the top part of the fork to make sure the pin was snug
in both ends of the fork.
I machined a simple steel sleeve to accept the new pin tip
( about 1/4" enters the bushing ) and pressed it into the upper hole
already in the fork. It seems to be a rock solid tight fit & should
prevent the shearing condition caused by the original design. Because I
never want to do the same repair twice I'm also going to install a
second pin  with a grade 8, 1/4" bolt through the center of the fork.
This will be the last time I pull the trany ( I pray to God ) for a
$5.00 bolt.

Thanks to all for their help & suggestions.
