Preface
At around the 150K km mark (90K miles), it became necessary to repair my forks, which
began leaking on my '98 FLTRI (Road Glide).
With
the help of a friend, I had rebuilt the motor's top end the previous
winter. During that previous year's work I made a photo and audio log of
what was done and placed the record on a Web page at
Evolution Top End Rebuild.
The work on the primary and belt is recorded at
Primary Belt Replacement. Several
people told me, later on, that they appreciated that, so I'm doing it again -
this time documenting the process of removing and rebuilding the forks.
What I have done is taken digital pictures of the disassembly and assembly
process and present them below for your information. Since my digital
cameral can record audio with each image, I have added commentary to each
picture. In some cases the audio portion is quite important; mentioning
aspects that I need to keep in mind when it comes to reassembly and for the
next time I do the job.
I have placed a link under each picture that you can click to hear the
audio commentary. You can also click on each image to get a
larger, high-resolution view.
