Default FORK OIL ???'s

Has anyone rebuilt their forks??? I have an F3 and I am planning on changing the springs to RaceTech springs and changing all the seals and rings. Anyone have advise on this job?

I hate to admit it but I take forks to someone that does race suspensions. To me they are the biggest pain in the a$$ and I hate working on them.

From my limited experience (bad experience) with forks you'll need: plenty of paper towels, band aids, an instruction manual and ever always a "special tool" is involved.

Good luck with your project -- are you going with a heavier spring or is it stock weight?

I'm going to use a heavier spring to match my weight. There are two options to go with... STOCK spring rate is .699(don't know the units) RaceTech calculates two types on their website-- .817 for Street or .867 for Track. I might go for something in between - .850
