Didn't mean to hijack, check a local farm supply, they should large one large enough.

I used a gas syphon and some rubber tubing to get the oil out.

The best way is probably to take the tubes out and dump the fkuid--that way you can gett all the old oil out and also get most of the sediment out. Takes aLOT more time, though

If i take off front end...front wheel, handlebars, triple clamps (upper and lower), gauges....EVERYTHIGN have to come off...

how long do you think it'll take?

I live in a city...no farms around here for miles...

Front wheel - YES
Handlebars - YES
Triple clamps - LOOSEN ONLY
Gauges -

NO

After the wheel and fender are removed, the fork tubes will slide down out of the triples. Work on one at a time.

Quote from: Frosthow long do you think it'll take?

For your first time ... say 2 hours. 3 if you go slow and easy.

sorry man...i'll give you a hand next week...

but is this the right end cap???

Kerry · April 16, 2005, 09:09:10 AM

I didn't answer about the end caps because I went a different route. (See the pictures in the Fork Spacers thread.)

But in that same thread shep_bannister confirmed that 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC end caps fit just right. If that's what the diagram is then I'd say you're good to go. :dunno:
