this is by far the best tutorial I've come across on KZfaq! Thank you!

You are a bold man to do all these without covering your tank :D

Clear, concise, no useless banter. Excellent videography. Thanks!

Glad you guys are doing videos again! Keep it up!

Brother, that was a good one! You’re a comedic genius. When you said, “the top will be facing up…” on the seal… my girlfriend and I almost lost it laughing…

I've been watching a bunch of these. This was truly exceptional. Thanks. I think I can handle this service now.

love it. I'm getting ready to get my forks service done on my FLHTK. And this video gives me the confidence to do it myself.

Rob, that was great. I've watched at least half a. dozen videos on this. Yours was included the clearest instruction and the best camera work. Much appreciated!

"Gently tap it in" *proceeds to not so gently bang forks on work bench*. All jokes aside, great video. Thank you!

Many thanks for this outstanding step-by-step video...got a '92 XLH 1200 that's leaking pretty bad on one side. This guide will help me tremendously. Thank you again and keep up the great work!

You guys saved my ass again I do all my own work on my bike but this was always a big ? Thanks again guys!

Excellent video, very well done with excellent explanation of each step of the process.

Excellent Video and I have a 2005 FXD with 39MM Saving this one ..

Great vid man thanks! Helps out dudes like me trying to learn about and maintain our bikes on our own.

This video is great. I especially appreciate you going over all the necessary tools at the beginning. Not many DIY build channels do that. I literally stopped the video and ordered anything I didn't have off of Amazon, then played the video again. Super useful for my new fork tube/fork spring upgrade to my iron 883. It's pretty straightforward, but it's always good to watch videos like this to pick up tricks and tips. Thanks!

Thanks for a great video, very helpful, started a youtube channel following my first bobber build, and I could not do it without great how-to videos like this,

Outstanding teacher and video. Thank you

That’s a serious Love Brush my man, great video, keep it simple and cool

Best Vid ever on this procedure. Great job man!

great tutorial... I'm doing mine soon... I hope the dampener bolt comes off as easy as it did here!

great how too...it saved me a lot of heartache..cheers Bud...

Great Job! Best tutorial on this subject on the net. I learned a great deal!!!!!! Thanks.

Thanks for your input. Enjoyed muchly 👍🏻

This guy's freaking awesome!

Doing this next weekend, this video made it look easy

i've been putting off redoing my fork seals cause i thought it was gonna be tough. thanks for the info!

Best video tutorial I've seen! Good job bro!

Great job bud. Rock on!

Great series.

Thank you for having good lighting and not having the camera mounted 45 feet away. I've watched about 10 vids, people pick up all parts at once, beat on and done. I have a box of parts therefore I don't know the order of parts. Great vid.

You'r brave not covering the fuel tank with a thick towel , If it was me I'd defiantly drop a spanner on the tank with horrible consequentness ! Best video I've seen on service. So well explained and fool proofed. Great job. With thanks.

Thanks much, Sir. 👍🏽🤠 8/14/23

Nicely done. Making a quality video is harder than it looks.

Great video!

Great informative video and presentation .... thanks...

Nice work, thanks for sharing knowledge

First time in my life i watch 21 minutes vid very carefully ..

Excellent video. I have to do this service on my '06..it just started leaking. Keeps me out of the stealership!

very good explanation I like very much.

This was an extremely well don video. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm getting ready to do mine as well. I'm subscribed.

Great video. Since everything is disassembled it would make sense to replace fork springs if desired and brake pads, especially if they were contaminated with leaking fork oil.

Nice video! Thank you for sharing! Im doing mine now 😊

Well done sir, thank you.

Nice job. Thanks!

Thanks - clear as glass! :-)

Fantastic How to. thanks.

Well done!

Great video nice and clearly Thank you

very good video, followed step by step, buy the seal tool Amazon 25.00 also on newer dynas takes a 12 mm long hex socket.

Very good video.

Good video right on point

You can make a seal driver from PVC pipe from the hardware store. Longer then the tube allows you to use a rubber mallet to drive them in.

This is the Best fork seal video I’ve seen! Extremely helpful My Dyna failed inspection due to a fork seal leak! Thank You!

Learned that spring part the hard way lol

Did u invent the shake weight? 😂nice videos thanks so much man

Great vid 👌

Dude, such a good how-to. I'm gonna give it a whirl. Hopefully I don't completely fuck it up haha...I wish I could send in requests for each project I have!

Please do a series video how to install a 883-1200 kick up kit.

wow great video

Thanks !

Great vidyo

Awesome

Awesome video. As good or better than Fix my Hog Videos!

Wowowoooo! Great !

Hello, your video is very informative. My 2005 sportster front forks bottoms completely. It doesn't have any leaks, looks completely fine. Can I just take off fork caps, replace springs and oil from top ?? Thanks.

Very educational... I have a 2004 V-rod I want to install chrome lower sliders. Are they similar to this video ? Can I do it without removing the shocks from the bike? Seals have all been replaced so I dont intend to go that far.

Baby blanket over the tank. One slip of the tool and ding city.

In the process of replacing fork seals. I noticed my springs only stick out about a half inch. There was no pressure against the cap. Is that normal? Other than that it's been a pretty simple job. Great video makes the job so much easier.

I have a 2003 XLC, ( Seals NOT LEAKING! ) I was just going to change my Oil, Can I drain it by taking off the damper rod bolts, or should I just use the drain plugs? (I thought it might drain easier using the damper rod bolts) I have about 38,000 miles on the bike. Should I put some progressive springs in there, or should the factory ones be OK for a while? What weight oil should I use, 10W or is 15 better. I don't ride real aggressive. Or do you think at 38,000 I would need bushings.

would there be any reason why the thin bushing would have a problem seating into the fork lower ?

After having done this procedure, I can say it's very difficult to remove the decorative chrome cap without damaging it. Just buy new ones before you start.

I wonder if I could put some tape over the bottom of leg and slide new parts on? Do you think it would be an issue?

I had my forks serviced by a shop about 6 months ago. I noticed a month later that there was plenty oil on the tubes from the seals area and also oil leaking from the tops of the forks where they meet the triple tree, was it a bad job or are my tubes shot?

Hello, I have Deuce lowers and need to take them off their current tubes and put them on a different set of tubes, would the process be the same as this?

Great fork service video, will be doing my '05 FXDL next weekend. Any trick of the trade or tip to help make the difficult task of getting that fork cap back on the tube a little easier???

Nice video. But you didn't mention the nylon damper tube rings that go onto the damper tubes. At least on my 1994 Hugger there is one.

Always cover the tank with towel or something

The best how to video. Spent 4 hours looking for a good video. Question where do I place my lift underneath the bike? I dont have enough money for those fancy lifts.

Thanks..great, easy to understand video..what is the correct torque pressure for the pinch bolts etc?

Jackin that forktube lime a dairymaster

Having a tough time with the decorative chrome cap removal, any suggestions?

Did it really take 2 hours to get the cap on? If so, what's the trick or is it just perseverance. Thx

What was the size of the fork cap socket?

I liked him on Reno 911. Who knew he was a bike guy also?

My Softail heritage 93 says the washer needs to be with the flanged side facing up… does that mean the flat side must face down ? What’s the difference between facing it down or up it makes more sense to lay the flat side in the bed of the fork slider than the rounded side. Can anybody share some info into this ? Minute 11:20

How far does the upper bushing go into the tube ?Mine only went halfway

What about the springs on in the forks ?? Don’t You Have To Change The Springs Also ??

Awesome and detailed video! Do you know of the process is pretty similar to an 2018 FXBB? About to rebuild both seals on mine.

My dampening rod cap is jammed in the lower fork. Not sure how to get it out, or if it even matters. Anyone else have a similar issue or any advice?

Great video, exactly what I was looking for as a refresher But....how do I know what it the correct amount of oil and weight for a custom application? +10 soft tail forks....any clue?

14:30 "Toss it to the side" * window crashes"

Great Video. Quick question: what is that thin metal string located inside the fork seal itself? And what is its function exactly? I realised my left fork was leaking (Ive recently replaced the seals) and when I opened the cap that string was broken...

Rob, you warned about not installing the replacement components from the bottom of the rod upward because of possible damage from sharp edges, but in your video that appears to be exactly what you did???

why did you need pump the tube when fill it with fluid to release air from it.

If I’m running 8 over on my sportster how much oil do I need

good tutorial, but rest assured - removing the bolts for the caliper, if they've never been removed before, is WAY harder than that. Using an impact like he did is smart, but if you dont have access to one, use a cheater bar.

Are 49mm dyna forks basically the same process other then the torque specs?

Why didn’t he say what the torque specs were????

fork tube same height is a big deal. my friend last year bought a used harley davidson from El Cajon Harley Davidson and it was pulling hard to one side he took it back the next day and they found one fork tube was a 1/4'' difference and he rode it around and it was fine... so happy he was... i was like: no way but he said thats what they told him a fork tube was higher then the other one... i still cannot think how it would make such a hard pull to the right.. oh well...

Currently doing this procedure and I can’t get the seal down far enough for the retaining clip. Any tips? I pre oiled it just like the video and have been hammering on it for over an hour. I can see the groove but still need to go down more. Please help🤬😭
