I have a set of Progressive fork springs and All Balls bearings and want to install them but am a little scared at disassembling my frontend. I have a small oil leak from between where the extensions and the forks come together and figured while I fix that I'd install these other items. Anyone have any info from the service manual or willing to hang out for a couple hours in Little Elm? I'll buy the beverages/food whatever for some experience...

Thanks,
Nick

I'd offer to help, but I've got my viXen torn down right now, too (final drive replacement, new power block and wiring, flushing forks and replacing springs and oil, polishing wheels)...

BUT, if you don't already have the service manual, it does help. Download it here: http://www.vtxcafe.com/showthread.php?t=3614

And here's a link to the illustrated version of bearing replacement for the 1300: http://tech.vtxoa.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=38&id=172&artlang=en

Take your time...you can do it...and you won't be out the stealer $$$!!!
