Rebuild forks 1984 flhtc
I have air leaking at the fork cap on my 84 flhtc. So I guess I will pull both forks and rebuild them. Now should I get the parts from HD or look at eBay? And how hard is it to do? I have done them before on my rice burner. And one thing I see in the service book I should have a rubber spacer on the tube. I don't do I need it?

Be careful to keep the gauges upright so the oil doesn't spill. Take a look at how the wires and such are placed before you get the gauges all the way off if this is the first time you've pulled it - there's not a lot of space in there.
Also there's a 6 or 8 wire connector by the fork on the carb side - you may want to note the colors before you start pulling anything - hard to figure out once they are disconnected.
