Awesome video! Everything looks simple except for one thing. How did you get the spring compressed and get the snap ring back in place? I have progressive springs in mine which will be even more stiff. Thank you for the video!
Some years ago a friend was able to escape communist Illinois and move to Georgia. He offered his wonderful motorcycle lift he used for his Wing Trike. Why o why didn’t I put that thing on trailer and bring it home?? I know why, I too was hoping to escape this communist hell.
Great instructional video. talked to a dealer about rebuilding the front forks they said it was a real pain to do and cost $500. They might need to watch this video to learn the painless way!
I replaced my seal on my 97 Valk after watching this video. The only problem I ran into was compressing the tube so I could place the lock nut on dampener. So I used what I had lol. A ratchet tie down. I put the ratchet end on top, with it hooked in the side hole of the tube. Tied the strap around the bottom. Worked like a charm.
Yes. Good idea. I fabricated a tool instead. A ratchet strap would have been less time consuming. However, I enjoyed making the tool and now I have it.
I'm working on a 98. Just finished the left fork now on the right. Great video. Got my fingers crossed she starts. Sat for so long I had to go through the carbs. Huge job, trust me. Especially getting them back in. The part that was a nightmare was getting those air box rubbers fully sat back on the carbs.
Thanks for a great video. I felt confident to rebuild with your help. One question...there is all kinds of chatter about fork oil, so as you are the expert, how much oil goes in the right fork?
Thanks for the video. I just bought one of these. A 1998 GL1500CT for a resto project. Videos are coming up on my channel. I have 3 up so far. I appreciate it.
Would have been nice if you gave Allen wrench size for each of the nuts as well as the nut size on the fork top nut. Giving torque specs ask you gowould have been nice as well.
Thanks for making this video. I have a 99 Valkyrie Interstate with same leaky seals. After dealing with IDIOTS at Honda dealer, I'm doing this and a carb rebuild myself!
Excellent information, and a great plastic bag', tip! I've been riding Valk's, for 5yrs, and never knew the left fork, had no dampener rod. Me being me, just thought, both forks would have the same, identical, internals. So, why no dampener rod, in the left?
Hello Excuse me Honda Valkyrie FORK Fluid capacity May I ask if the left and right sides have the same capacity? There is still a difference. How much CC is on the right? How much CC is on the left? The book says the left and right are different I'm confused Thanks
