BOSS DOG how do you keep from cross threading when putting the fork caps back on? I can barley hold the caps down against the forks and I'm afraid I'll cross thread them.
Followed to the letter. when trying to pull the lower fork leg down it jams. gentle tapping turned into heavier whacks with a wooden drift. Upper bushing riding over the lower?
If the piston tube is spinning in the fork tube when you are trying to take out the bolt in the fork sleeve, put the spring and spacer back in and press the spacer down while turning bolt.
David Daniels no all the magnas use a similar fork system. The process is slightly different to access the forks but the proceedure is the same. Just be sure to look up your fork fluid specs because they will be different
Really well put together video! Straight to the point and easy to understand! Thanks!
Great video, thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thanks for sharing your skill. Really appreciated.
Great Video, taught me how to do my forks. Also saved me a ton of money! Thanks for the good video!

Great video how many hours to do this without the video time ?
I can do it in about a half hour. With a learning curve figure maybe an hour or 2
how much oil goes exactly to one pipe because I just exchange and the old one was 550 milliliters
Each bike is different consult the tech manual
Is it much different for a 83 750 magna?

i wonder if you have to mess with the TRAC anti-dive system on the '83? i'm about to do mine.
Why would somebody block off their cold air ram with a ditty bag
