In my recent post, I posted how my 01 f4i got a bent rim, damage radiator, front forks, and a dented front rim.

Does anyone have any experience replacing any of these?

As much as possible, I want to save my friend $$$ that he's gonna give me for all parts and labor. Instead of getting a shop to do it, i'll do it myself if it's easy enough and save him lotsa money.

I know I don't have the right tools to mount the tires onto the rim, so I'll be doin that at the shop. Radiator SEEMS easy to do... but not sure. Forks SEEM REALLY HARD to do... is it hard to remove the wheels from the bike? Or should I just let the shop do everything?

Any details, DIY websites, pictures, etc would be very helpful.

 

it's all very straight forward, but you'll need to either get a front stand that lifts from the triples (stem) or use tie downs, etc. to lift the frond end of the bike from triples by throwing it over rafters, etc.
