If your not familiar with forks, save the time and trouble, and have a shop do them up cherry.

thats the way to go, take them off yourself, get oem seals, and have a tech put them in. Oh yeah, the 180 piece craftsman tool set isnt gonna have all the stuff you need to do them. lol

Re: how to replace fork seals on 929rr

I tried mine on my 954 and i ran into two problems.....the wrenches I had would not stack close enought together to get the dampener rod and lock nut appart on the top of the fork (wanted to strip) and a regular length allen socket isn't long enought to go up through the hole at the axel (bottom of the fork) to get that bolt out..........

I just brought the forks down to the shop and had them done for $70.00 plus the cost of fork seals.
