Steve, your videos have been such a huge help man!!! Thank you so much!! It’s more than just saving money on labor…for me, it’s about being proud of the time and work I put in the bike.

@sikbaggers Год назад

thank you Ryan! So glad the videos are helping and saving you money! And yes you are right..it really is all about doing your own work and learning your bike.

@justanotherviewer52 2 года назад

Straight forward indeed. A bit more involved than most upgrades but well within the limits of most do-it-youselfers. And looks really good. Thanks Steve.

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

Ye sir without actually getting into the forks this job is easy...however actually getting in there and replacing the guts for upgraded guts inst that bad either...I kinda wished I would have now since I had it all off just to show it..but the front fork on these ride pretty decent so I asnt too worried about it.

@alred6568 Год назад

Excellent video. Thanks for the tool advice. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to make these very informative videos. In a pinch I have used electrical tape to create a thick bundle around the upper fork. I then I use the same principal you used to remove the top seal. But instead of pulling a push the upper fork upside down so that the stop does not get damage. It works all the time. Also, a schedule 80 pvc pipe can be cut to be used a rammer to get the seal in. Lastly, an old seal can used to push the new seal. The old seal gets all the pounding to push the new seal in. Regarding the bleeding bolts, those are a little hard to find. I have created my own bolt by cutting down to size. However, I have found a nice upgrade bold of much better quality in hardness that utilizes a hex key. The phillip is just a bad application for this particular location. Instead of locktite I used white paste for automotive. Similar to plumbing. This is an excellent upgrade to locktite. All those methods have worked for me. For the fork holder, why not using a small piece of a 4x4. Cut a 1.5 inch hole if you have a wood hole saw or two notches just like in your wooden holder. Then cut in half for easy use. So that the 4x4 piece stays on top of the vice, I remove about 3/8" material from the wood. That created a nice stop. It is basically the same principal as the European fork aluminum square fork holders used mainly in Europe. My advice is to get the parts ahead of time. There is a convenient fork seal kit with all the parts for the lower forks I usually get for 30 dollars. Professional tools are the best way to go. However, sometimes a job must be completed, and some homemade tools can get you out of a jam. I have purchased quality bolts and plenty of copper washers because getting those inexpensive parts is complicated because the dealer never has them, and I have to drive 45 minutes to get a $3 dollar part. Plan ahead and have all you need before you start. 40 years of working with bikes has taught me to always have necessary items to share with friends.

@sikbaggers Год назад

Thanks for checking them out and also some great tips as well!! Ive used the shaved down pvc and even a shop vac extension to get seals in in the past lol but I do like using the old seal to take the brunt of the hits for the new seal..

I recently bought some new replacement forks for my 2005 Heritage Classic. After market manufacturer states I need 8.5oz of oil, Harley service manual says 12.9oz or 4.72 in. (119.9 mm). I really don't want to have to disassemble the forks to use the measurement method and as far as I know, the after market forks are exactly the same as the original stock ones. Do you find it reliable to go with the volume method of adding oil and should I go with the recommended amount from Harley?

Great video man my Question is I'm in the process of doing mine! Replacing seals and bushings in the lower! So if it's dry are you saying the upper tube! If it's still wet do you need to add it as wet or dry! I have a 97 FLHR road king I did clean the walls of the slider! But not the upper! But great video brother!

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

Man Im sorry im just getting to this..im sure you have this already put back together by now but what im referring to on wet vs. dry is wet is you have already had fluids in there.. and dry is brand new, never had fluids in it...the good news is that with the shocks its not really a science on the amount of fluid...I mean it does not have to b e perfect but just close...so if you dry wiped the inside and only added the wet amount your going to be fine...its a minuscule amount of fluid.

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

Hey Shaun...you really have 3 choices on brake pads..I did a video on this bike on the brakes that explains it better but there are sintered, which are harder and last longer but are harder on your rotor, then there is organic..softer and not to bad on rotors but dont last as long..and then semi sintered which is a combo of both ...but really once you hit that brake the first time it will scar that polsihed part of the rotor with any pad

@JoKe4244 2 года назад

You probably already know this and I apologize if the following is irrelevant to you. At 08:50 you show using vice grips to tighten the front screw on the wood clamp. Wood working clamp tip - they're designed to provide a significant amount of force. The key is to tighten both front and rear of the clamp near the same gap width until the front handle is tight as you can get it. THEN tighten the rear of the clamp handle as tight as you can get it, which will transfer force through the front handle which will also increase that transferred force exponentially to the clamp jaws. My thought is you appear to have significant forearm and hand strength, and can just use that alone to provide enough force to hold your fork.

@sikbaggers 2 года назад

Thank you...and yeah I try to do that the best that I can..those fork legs get slippery and when applying force to them sometimes i just put some stank on it with some pliers lol...just for good measure. I am definitely not a wood worker so thank for the heads up..ill try that next time and see how tight I can get it.
