Seth! It’s PJ you guys hooked me up on my trip across the country. I made it back to Oregon on that tank you guys fitted up for me. That’s a story I’ll never forget. I hope my old tank made it to the wall of fame haha

Funny how the one inch makes it look so much cooler. I gotta consider doing that.

If you are broke or you are leaving on a trip and it would take 2 weeks to get the right copper washers, you can totally reuse them, i just scrub them on a piece of 600grit sandpaper. Just clean them good after, dont want to grit all up in your forks giblets. I do this all the time on diesels, thay run at way higher psi, no leaks.

IN PART 2?!?!? This is worst than watching Game of Thrones when it first came out lol

@jupels1672 17 часов назад

can you stack to 3" for a +6?

@atcjoe1600 Год назад

Those spacers make it easier to change fork oil without taking tension off the spring ?

@chongo6894 Год назад

KOOL!

@phildalton3294 Год назад

never seen one break myself but after a while you could not find or buy them anywhere

@justincuevas6069 Год назад

Not sure if i missed it on the video but do you need to do all this to add the fork cap extensions or can you just put them on

@ThrottleAddictionCo Год назад

All you have to do for the fork cap extensions is put them on. We just did the fork rebuild since we were also removing the fender mounts.

@martinrobertson7307 Год назад

This video is ridiculous! You do NOT need to strip the forks to fit extensions, just unscrew the factory cap and screw on the extension below it! I fitted mine in 10 minutes! No problems with safety after 5 years of riding, AS LONG as the threaded section is between the yokes on the triple tree

@dennispasquale7291 6 месяцев назад

do brake lines still fit ?

@blakecrawford9303 Год назад

Are those the factory fork springs? They look like progressive springs

@ThrottleAddictionCo Год назад

We believe they are, we did get the bike used so it is possible they are an aftermarket part. Either way it won't impact the outcome of this modification

@Vsmechanical_llc 11 месяцев назад

Do you have extension cap for 2018 xg750 street?

@ThrottleAddictionCo 11 месяцев назад

We only have caps for 39mm forks, I believe the XG750's are 37mm but I'm not positive. If you measure yours and they're actually 39mm the one's shown in the video should work

@MadKingJorge 3 месяца назад

If you're going to rebuild the forks why not do it right and fit new tubes??

@titusfreitasfreitas1095 10 месяцев назад

Bro wat years is your bike

@ThrottleAddictionCo 10 месяцев назад

It's a 2001

@phildalton3294 Год назад

in the old days they where call fork slugs they could be very dangerest because the threaded parts are weaker than one piece tube

@specialse Год назад

thats right , its actually the lowest part of the threaded extension part that take the weight !!! thats not a lot of metal . have seen them break on longer applications 😐

@martinrobertson7307 Год назад

Not if the threaded part is inbetween the fork triple tree yokes. There is NO tension, strain, pressure on the threads if fitted there. I have had 4 inch ones on my harley fxdwg for several years with no problems.

@@martinrobertson7307do you ever carry a passenger if so how often and where did you get them from material etc …. Looking to getting a set of +3 inch . I’d love to know how reliable they are
