Default How hard is it to install upper fork covers

I am thinking about ordering the flamed upper fork covers and was wondering how hard these are to install? Do I have to disassemble the whole legs or what. I would appreciate the input.

You should wait and install chrome lowers at the same time.
It's not difficult, and a svc manual is a must, but it is labor intensive.
Yes you have to drop the forks to get to the 'cans', if that is what you're talking about.

Again not hard, but timely.

Since you need to remove the lower sliders in order to change the cans out I would recommend doing it all at the same time. There's a couple DIY's on how to change the lower sliders. If you're a bit mechanically inclined and have the right tools it's a piece of cake.
