In this video, I do a quick and cheap rebuild on my 2007 Buell XB Lightning factory Showa forks. These same sized forks are used on 2005-2008 XB9 or XB12 Lightning and Firebolt models. The Lightning Low, SCG and Ulysses Buell models have different sized forks (double check seal part #'s) but rebuild process will be similar. Additionally, many other motorcycles use Showa forks so this video should still be helpful even for non-Buell brand bikes. If you found this video helpful, be sure to like, share and subscribe!
