    Default Motorcycle fork seal replacement?

    Does anybody know of a mechanic or shop that can replace motorcycle fork seals? Apex in Colorado Springs quoted me at $300 and that's way out of my price range right now.

    You can do it. It's not that bad. I will highly recommend you borrow or buy a seal driver though.

    I kind of agree here, I watched a guy do it on my old motorcycle about 4yrs ago and it didn't seam that difficult, IF you have the seal driver though.

    With that said, contact TFOGGER (who is currently bed-ridden due to his motorcycle accident but maybe his shop can still help or at the very least give you a quote).

    Forks are a big deal, I would get it done by someone that knows what they are doing. Not worth saving a few bucks, its you life and your life is worth more then $300 . Just open the wallet lol.....but who am I..lol

    Member "tfogger" has a moto shop. If you want a pro to do it, keep it in the family. They do good work at fair prices too!
