Been doing a ground up on my 1968 CT. Just installed a set of Gizmos leading link front springs and replaced the steering brearings with All Balls tapered bearings as recommended. Springs were a straight forward swap and the steering bearings were not too bad except I needed to place a couple of washers below the top steering column nut to raise the nut for the handlebar plate to fasten properly. I ended up modifying washers from my supply to get ones that would work proberly. This modification took longer that both the springs and bearings replacement!!! Oh well, I'm having fun with these challanges. Should have the bike ready for spring!
