I am going to change my stock fork tins for chrome on my 03 Fatboy and searched for a thread on how to replace them myself. No such luck. Any of you guys ever done it before? Should I replace the lower fork sliders first or can it be done separately? Thanks in advance.

 

Are you talking about the cow bells? If so, I'd do it at the same time I did the sliders.

 

You got me on that one. Never have heard of the cow bells.

If you're going to eventually do the sliders anyway, do yourself a favor and do it all at the same time. You'll have to pull the sliders just to get the cowbells off, might as well do it all at once.

 

Yeah...the 'tins' and 'cow bells' are the same things.

You could do them without doing the lower sliders...but in doing the tinsyou havemost of the work completed.Why not do lowers and tinsat the same time and save yourself the aggravation of doing a lot of the same workagain?

Take a look in the DIY section.

Good luck...
