well today was the day, i preped the bike yesturday had it jacked up and the front tire off,
then this morning i picked up scottohio at the local airport, he flew in to teach me about rebuilding forks, the job went really well, and i think i could do it my self if i ever need to again scott was a great teacher, he took more pictures of the work then i did so when he gets home later i am sure he will be posting more pictures of the job
i can not thank scott enough, he took his whole day to come here and teach me about rebuilding forks.
i bought all the seals and bushing and progressive springs, turned out my lower bushing were in pretty good shape but we changed them any way, the real kicker was when we pulled out the springs there was progressive springs already in it, we did go ahead and use the new ones since they were here, once it was all back together scott took it for a quick spin, then it was back to the airport with some time to spare, the job went pretty fast, i did add about 8 pounds of air to the forks and i am very happy with the ride,
again i would like to thank scott for all he has done for me in teaching me to do this job my self if ever need me again.
