Beautiful job!! I just rebuilt a set of forks using your video and it made the job so easy my Granddaughter could do it. keep up the good work!!

overall good video. those bushings have different names. the slide bushing (keep fork tube plumb at the top of travel) is the smaller one with teflon on the inside (slides easier) and the Guide Bushing is to keep the bottom of the fork tube plumb inside the fork. other than that outstanding job. was in the middle of doing mine and the dog knocked over my assy table....needed some parts guidance, thanks Tip: Earlier version may have a notched end on the Aluminum Piece at the bottom. Make sure to seat the notch properly before inserting in inner tube. Mine also had a notch where the oil drain screw is.

I don't usually like or comment on anything but you deserve this, fantastic video, clear, concise and definately made the job simple and easier. I would suggest to anyone before trying to do this is get a good impact driver, not a cheap ebay one, it made the job harder for sure.

Nice apart from one small thing. Put a small plastic bag over the top of the fork leg when fitting the oils seal, so it does not get damaged on the sharp edge

about to do this on my 91 katana 750. the fork tube has got chips at the seal area and also some dings below it somehow that I think have been rubbing on the top bush, causing teflon filled oil to come out of the forks. new forks are either really expensive or impossible to find so im gonna try and smooth them up as carefully as poss. wish me luck!

hey. your video has been really helpful! I was wondering what values you had for the level of the oil in the forks as you measure it from the top. I'm currently doing my 600f and I have the haynes manual but after filling the fork with 499cc of oil the depth is waaay off! i've made sure the fork is completely compressed as well.

Can you remove the calipers while the fender and wheel are still on the bike? Mine seemed like there wasn’t enough room to come out. Can I remove the wheel with the calipers still bolted up? Also how do you remove the speedo gauge so can take axel out.

I've got a 91 Katana that I'm building and as a bigger guy (300lb) I replaced the rear shock with one that was more appropriate for my weight but in comparison the front feels a bit mushy now, I wouldn't be surprised if my forks need a rebuild (checking them today) but my question is, for someone my size do you think rebuilding the stock forks is worth it or do you think I should find something slightly stiffer, whether you answer or not, good video, keep up the good work
