I would like to put chrome lower fork sliders on my 98 Roadking and wonder how difficult it is to do that. While I am at it I would like to get a 1 inch lower kit from Phoenix Customs. I just don't want to bite off more than I can chew?
Ive put several sets on in the past.....not hard. But you have to disassemble to the point where you can remove each fork from triple trees....
Having the proper socket for the top cap is advisable to enable easier reassembly (in my opinion) and you need to have a longer set of allens to remove the bolt from the bottom to release the internals.....check a manual and follow it to the tee....its not that hard. NEW SEALS, some type of seal driver (PVC), and I put in new bushings too
yeah, even after you take out the drain plugs, i pump the fork a little to try to get it out. But when the lower leg comes off better that the pan ready....that inner tube holds just enough to make a friggin mess....
