Default Anyone in So Cal want to help me install...

a pair of Ricor Intiminators in my 08 Deluxe forks? I've done some minor things to my bike but I don't want to mess with the front end. I don't have the tools and really thinking I'll fug it up somehow or get it apart and not be able to get it together. Been told it is a simple install (for some anyway..not me) From what I have been able to determine(without the instructions in hand yet) it involves draining the fork oil, dropping the forks but not removing them, removing the springs and putting the intiminators on top of the stock damper, put springs back in. I'll ride to your local and help of course, even do it myself under someones watch and instruction. Not looking for a freebie just trying to save some bread and get it done right. Will have the ricors in hand by the weekend I hope.

UPDATE: Found an indy here that will take care of it for $9O. Pretty fair deal I'd say.

lol...thanks. No...not changing the bike, just improving the front end suspension.

Patented Inertia Active dampening for damper rod front forks. This is the only product on the market that is smart enough to know if the wheel is trying to move or if the chassis is trying to move. We give you the best of worlds, a more stable chassis and a faster wheel response over bumps. This product will transform the front of your Harley.

The Intiminator sits on top of your stock damper rod forcing the oil through high quality deflected discs found in top of the line shock absorbers. When the front tire hits a bump then the inertia of that bump opens the inertia valve instantly allowing for a faster response.
Installation is easy. Drain the fork oil, remove the spring, drop in the Intiminator, add oil then the spring and away you go.
