Default Fork upgrade question
I'm getting ready to do a fork cartridge upgrade to the bike. I have a '16 Road Glide Ultra. I've found part numbers 46508-01, the O ring, and 46514-01A, the oil seal, which looks like a gasket. The other thing I'm trying to figure out if I need to replace the snap ring and if so, what the part number is for that.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Ronnie's part finder is always a good source.

Get the rebuild kit and replace everything while you are in there. Most cartridge manufacturers will recommend that anyways.

It's just one of those things....you are in an infrequently visited space of the bike and have an opportunity to replace inexpensive wear items...**** that **** (just do it).

Oh for sure. I totally agree. Whether its new springs or top of the line cartridges anything is better than stock. Even cartridges can be relatively reasonably priced depending on the brand.

I'm going to be doing the same exact project on my 16 FLHXS sometime soon. Just seeing if a good deal on some Legends cartridges pops up. I'll be changing the lower forks and cowbells too.

Exactly what I'm doing. Blacking everything out on the bike. Check out cheapcycleparts.com It's kinda hard to searc/find some of the less common things like cow bells but they have great prices.
