I am ready to assemble my fatboy front forks, problem is when i went to the hardware store to find a piece of pvc or abs pipe , i could not find one the right size , all they had was 1 inch or 1.5 or 2 inch inner dia pipe, these won't work to drive the seal.

what size should i be looking for to install fork seals on 41mm forks?

 

you should be able to sand down the 3inch, to bad your up in canada I have a 41mm driver for another bike.

 

would the 2 inch dia pipe work to drive the fork seal, i did not try a 2 inch thinking it would be too big, i do know the 1.5 did not work

 

I used a socket that fit

 

You just need to find one semin tight fitting and then just sand it down. like mine was 3 inches but need to be around 2.75 so I sanded it down to fit

 

2 in will work just fine, then use a belt sander to take down the end to clear the upper part of the fork lower so that will allow the PVC to fully seat the seal

 

THX Joe, i picked up 2 inch pipe as you mentioned, now to shave down the edge as you mentioned
