Are the Uly forks considered "cartridge" forks? Would this method work for doing the fork service?

I only watched part one and yes, it's very similar to the Buell proceedure. The only thing I could comment on is that when you get to the part where you need to clamp the fork in order to break loose the bottom allen bolt and the top stuff, leave the fork on the tripple tree. Works for me.

Ulyscol, I did a thread on changing the triple trees and fork springs on my 06. Some of the information might be useful to you. Check this out, hope it helps.

They are inch wrenches. If I remember right they were 7/16 and 1/2.
