RE: Chrome Front Fork
Order all the parts from Zanottis and save 20%, then hire a good indy shop to install the forks. Any indy shop can handle the forks with ease and should be about $50-60/hr, maybe less.. Do the rest yourself.

RE: Chrome Front Fork
Thanks everyone,
Good points, well taken. I will be doing quite a bit of it myself. An especially good point about looking for a less greedy dealer.
Thanks,
Arthur

RE: Chrome Front Fork
I like Jamie's idea. This is my first hog and I did most myself with just a little common sense---the other stuff I took to a mom and pops shop that I've been dealing with for some years....they charge $40-$45 bucks per hour.....even less depending on how much you're having done and whether you stand back there and shoot the breeze with the mechanic, crack jokes, and "hold this, hold that, pass me that, etc"
I do need to buy the manual though; as I wasn't confident enough to do the right side grip once I saw the cable
But, he charged me about $25 to do it.....it only took him about 20 minutes at most

RE: Chrome Front Fork
Great advice, thanks. I went to Zanottis on line ans will end up saving about 400 just on the parts themselves. Will do much of it myself.
