Forks in where?

The top triple tree might have some rust and need some light sanding, then put some anti-seize on it before sliding the fork in.

I lowered and put the chrome kit on my 10 RKC, pulled the fork tubes out and decided not to replace the springs and such myself. It still cost $140 at the stealer. Can't figure out why it would take someone 1.5 hours to just take two fork tubes apart and put new seals in. Guess that's why they have the money and I don't.

I agree, it is really easy and you should have done it yourself and saved a pile of money!

And install the chrome cowbells while you have it apart.
