Front fork sliders
I just bought new fork sliders for my 2007 street bob and I was wondering what steps do I have to do to replace them?. And can I reuse all the seals? I know I'll have to replace the fluid. Any help would be great
You'll want to replace the seals at the top end of the slider. If I remember right there's an oil seal that fits inside the top of the slider, and a dust seal on top of that under the cap. And maybe a crush washer at the bottom? Was a couple years ago when I did mine.
Not a terrible job, as I recall the worst parts were getting the bolts loose on the bottom of the slider, and reinstalling the top spring caps.

the kit is 35 a slider hd p/n: 49379-09. or you could use an aftermarket kit. you could do just the oil seals (19 on diagram below) on the cheap for about $6 (google: 49mm oil seals fork )

delboy:
i didn't follow his seal install method. i cleaned my uppers well then used a pvc pipe and a rubber mallet too pound it into place. plenty of vids out there to help you
***loosen bottom bolt (31 in diagram) before removing forks from trees (12mm hex, long/deep) if you can. total PIA
have fun
