Platinum Boarder Posts: 2132 Re:Chrome or polish fork tins 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Don You have to lift your bike and basicly remove the front end.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #260976 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

Yes Don You quickly raise the front end up, quickly remove the front wheel & caliper and hang the caliper to the side, quickly remove your handle bars and lay them on the tank with a blanket or towel covering your tank, then quickly loosen the center bolt and then quickly loosen the pinch bolts and remove the fork legs quickly remove the upper tree cover, then quickly remove the upper bearing and seperate your trees and then you can unbolt the tins. I may have left out a couple of steps but you get the picture   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #260987 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2378 Re:Chrome or polish fork tins 2 Years, 2 Months ago   SLOW DOWN, I can't read that fast   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #260990 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7083 Re:Chrome or polish fork tins 2 Years, 2 Months ago   So the brushed look isn't so bad then I know the step you missed Danny, the one where I stop, quickly grab a beer, and realize, it looks good just the way it is..   Logged     Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #261007 hammer (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 478 Re:Chrome or polish fork tins 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Just do this!!! Really not too difficult. Just wheel,fender & forks. Change the fork oil while your at it. Mine had only 7k and the oil was fairly nasty.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #261013 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4842 Re:Chrome or polish fork tins 2 Years, 2 Months ago   My tins are fine but it may be worth the extra time (and beer) to change the fork oil and head bearings seeing as how winter is gonna last another 4 months here.

Hey Don I'm getting ready to remove the entire front end and replace it with a different one. Take a trip to the warm weather here and you can see how easy it really is! I'll buy the beer   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #261129 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2279 Re:Chrome or polish fork tins 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Not really that hard to take off, go slow though. Once you take them off leave them off...more weight! I shipped mine to Cougar and he was going to polish them and I never found out if he got it done and put on.   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access.
