Help with fork seals needed
« on: October 07, 2013, 06:18:30 PM »

Anyone here willing to show me how to put new fork seals in my old 1800. Would appreciate the help. Selling it to my son in law and trying to get him involved with the X Riders. Plus I would just like to know how to do it.

Well I've seen it done, but have never done the job myself. I am sure there are videos out there with step by step instructions. Since it's not my bike I would be glad to jump in that help you with new seals  ;D

Thanks , I'm in the same boat. Seen it done but haven't done it. I would try it with the videos but I can't take a month to do it! :-\

They are easy to do.  I did 2 sets a few months ago, and the videos helped a lot.
