Becoming one of my favorite channels. Great job you guys. Newfoundland Canada.

Absolutely a def new favourite channel ! Everything is fantastic- thank you !!! I’m about to move away from my BM mechanic & these vids have installed a lot of confidence to keep my airheads running & get more experience

This is great documentation. Thank you very much.

Highly useful, thank you.

Thanks for this.  I feared there was some black magic in this process.  I’ll give it a go on my R100 RS now

Greetings from Norway 🌹🤎

love this project.  Great video.

Very well produced video and super helpful.  Thanks!

Wow. Thank you so much. I now have the confidence to do the same to my R80/7.

Thanks!

Thanks for the videos, I like that you are not over the top using dial indicators and a torque wrench for every fastener and that you use a lot of Snap-On tools but have the Harbor Freight  tool box not the $15000.00 (smart HF tool box holds tools just like Snap On). The only thing that scared me was leaving fuel tank on, one slip of a wrench or dropping a part and then all your money that you made is going to the body shop, I know it's your wife's and she will understand. I hope.

Helpful guide for my ‘73 R75/5 .. fork rebuild is on the list.

I was hoping you'd have a parts list for this job.

Thank you for sharing. Appreciate it! Can you let me know the torque for the nut on the top of the fork?

Hi,  Lee from Wisconsin,  My 72 R75/5 Dives also trying to decide who sells the closes to OEM spring and seal kit Not sure if you can answer this yet I have to suppliers in mind curious who you purchase from ??   Loved the video

Hello great video I had the front forks rebuilt recently at a shop and I noticed that after 60-70mph I get a wobble and it feels unstable could it be my tires they have great thread but the bike was sitting for 2 years. Thanks

👍👍👍

Nice video but did I miss the part where you refitted those ali pre load spacers on top of the fork springs

On time mark 10:37 the cartridge goes in with the piston rings. You need a special tool to avoid the rings to be damaged getting in. You don't show that, the video jumps to a next issue as if it gets in easily. This is the most tricky part of the assembly. Is also possible with self-made tool set-up, rings need to be compressed before going in, so any tool that does that will work. Also as jtreg says, use proper tools to unbolt the bolts on the top of the forks, they should be secured with high Nm, not using correct tool will damage them, as we see on many bikes, these bolts are now hard to find. Also the bolts with two small holes on the top of the forks, there is a special tool for this, important to put some down pressure on the tool to avoid damaging the two small holes.

My R100RS forks were soft. I ended up changing the oil to the highest viscosity allowed. The forks performance improved drastically. In my opinion it rides nicer than my indian chief
