Well got the 1200 all put back together about 2 weeks ago after shock,rear tire replacement and some other misc maint. stuff and I'll be darned I my front wheel bearings are bad. The tire guy said they were good,go figure. Oh well I knew something was going to happen that was going to make me pull front end off and seal that leaky fork too.
What is the best way to remove and reinstall bearings on that front wheel?
Thanks, Craig

Kind of what I did. I picked up a bearing removal kit of e-bay a while back and it just paid for itself.

Thanks Mike, Think I will go over to Harbor Freight and see what kind of pullers they might have

This is similar to the kit I bought. Has all the standard sizes. Piece of cake. Think I paid about $25.

I've seen that kit at pitposse and ebay for around $35-$49
