Default Added some bling!

Finally got around to changing out my stock fork sliders for chrome ones that I purchased two years ago. Work on the house, yard, golf and shooting got in the way but now it`s done.

Removed the old sliders, drained the tubes while in the trees

Made a fork tube clamp out of a wood clamp and a flat bar of steel to hold the fork tube

Made a seal driver out of 2" pvc 3/4"T. Outside dimension was good but had to open up the inside to fit over the tube. Used my drill press with a drum sander to do this. Then I grinded down the 3/4" T portion of the pvc part.


Installed the bushing, washer and new seal. Filled with new oil.

Put the forks back on the bike

Fender and wheel back on and done!!!!

I am going to pull my forks for the Burley 1" lowering kit. Thanks for the great idea on the clamp! Forks look great also.

Looks great, one of the things I've been wanting to do to mine for years and have never got around to it.
