One thing remains consistent about our ******...they are expensive. I'd held off doing the recommended maintenance on my Vintage as long as I could. The book calls for an overhaul every 15, 000 miles. I'd planned on doing the overhaul only after they started to leak, but I'll be darned, they never did leak. Finally, at 40,000 miles, the bike was in the shop with a cracked spark plug cap and I thought, "Just Do It." And they did.
Riding home, I was amazed at the improvement in handling. Just like the day I took her home from the pound.
I'm wondering about and would be interested to hear your fork overhaul stories.
If they leaked, at what mileage?
Is there anyone still out there having never changed them and well past the expiration date?
I can say this... what a difference.
