Ignorance about Forks Maint
I've always heard that ignorance is bliss........Such is the case with me and my '03 RK Classic....I've 58,000 miles and looking back at all my service/maint records, I can't find where there has been anything done to the forks. .......It's going to the indy for tires and brakes pretty soon......based upon what I've read, the forks most likely need a little love and attention......I think it rides and handles pretty good....Is ignaorance really bliss???? What should I have done to them? Will it make a big difference in ride and handling? No need to beat on me due to my ignorance.....I do that enough to myself.....Thanks in advance for your input/insight/opinions!

Nothing is leaking....that I can see.....And as far as I know it rides and handles OK....However, this is the only bike I've been on since 2003, so I guess it could be riding/handling bad and I've jsut gotten accustumed to it and don't know it's bad......I'd never really give the forks any thought until I read a few threads on here about them.

I am in the same boat. I have no idea if my front forks have had the oil changed. I have had it for the last 20k.
I am going to swap out them to black and have them rebuilt at an indy when I hit 60k on the clock.
