I just won the chrome fork package on ebay Part # 46334-07A. $299 bucks!
For the others that have recently installed this package, does the kit include installation instructions? I have a manual, but sometimes it helps to have both.
Thanks Much,

 

Congrat's.... I won one before xmas for 140.00 usd. I haven't opened it all up directions wise to see. I will be soon though as the weather is warming up and I need to get it on my bike.

Sorry can't be of help. Manual should be enough though.

 

I thought I got a great deal. You stole yours! Good going..

 

should do just fine with the manual and congrats on your win

 

So what do I need for the install? Is it a 6mm long reach allen wrench? How much fork oil and what weight? Anything else? I'm just trying to get set up before they are delivered.
Thanks,

 

It comes with instructions, but the manual is more helpful. you will need some pvc pipe, I used 1 1/2 inch but I think 2 inch would of been better, to install the seals you will have to buy the new seals seperate. I used heavy weight fork oil. I think the frontend feels better with the heavier oil, now. your manual will tell you how much. I think mine was 12.9oz in each tube, comes in a 16 oz bottle=2 bottles. for the 6mm allen I just cut a 6mm allen and used a 6mm socket. you will need a torque wrench and some brake fluid, but I replaced my brake line, pads and caliper bolts while it was apart. a wrench big enough to take off the filler cap, on top of the trees. oh and dont forget the loctite.
I did not remove the tank, I just slid it back. make sure you disconnect the fuel line from the tank before you ever start. make sure you cover the tank with something just encase you hit it when you are filling the forks. make sure you have the right metric, mine was a 9 point 10mm i think, socket for the caliper.
some antseezee for the axle.

 

Thanks for the good information.

 

" to install the seals you will have to buy the new seals separate "
In the picture of the kit I bought it looks like the seals are included. Your kit didn't come with seals? I don't want to buy them if I don't need to.

 

The kit that several of us bought before Christmas included the seals. From my reading of the manual and other research this is not the simple wrench job I thought it was.

I'm sure I could've done it myself but call it luck or bad luck, had an accident and the dealer installed the kit for no extra cost. Normally would've been a $325 job and as I said, would've probably been money well spent imo.

There's a couple good pictorials online and I think maybe in the tech section which look to be helpful. I'll see If I can dig them up.

 

Here's a couple. If I get another set of forks at the same price as the last I might put them on my own bike. Did I mention it was my wife's bike that got my last set
