Front or rear suspension?

Look on the Race Tech site or call them.

Yes, suggest you find a shop nearby that does suspension, and work through them.
The Showa parts are readily available for anyone that knows there way around a fork and shock.
I had my fork seals done at a local BMW shop, and they just ordered the parts via Parts Unlimited.
I've also used a local guy who runs out of his basement shop (Cogent Dynamics) for my KTM's WP suspension. He even ran it on a shock dyno for me. He handled all the WP parts on that one, so I don't even know where he got them.
I think an H-D dealer would be my absolute last option for something like this.

We don't "have it", in the sense that it isn't a stocked item on the web site. But like other OEM BUELL parts, I can get it. I try (and sometimes fail ) to keep the stuff on the web site in stock, but stuff like this takes a couple weeks.

But it's an active part and readily available at this time. I wouldn't call it a generic showa part (i.e. like a bushing, or seal, or such), it's specific to this particular showa fork (length specific, I'd think).

You could buy a mostly straight fork with a scuffed leg and use it for parts.

Barry,
We don't charge until we ship anyway. So if you call me and have me order it now, it'll be here by the time you need to pay for it.

And if they have it in stock they're as fast at shipping as anybody in the business. 2 days from California to Colorado. Thanks Al!

Barry,
Is this because you couldn't get the snap ring off?

Maybe some one else can learn from our mistakes if we both explain our experiences.

I mangled the top of my damping rod assy when (from your description in the other thread you started) I came into the same predicament. The fork cap was still on the tube and the damping rod/preload adjuster threads were stuck in the fork cap and I couldn't unthread it with normal torque. So (wanting to follow the service manual's numbered steps ) I twisted harder until the brass screwdriver slot failed. I eventually got it apart when I skipped ahead a few steps in the service manual and took off the fork cap from the tube. Then I could put a wrench on the bottom side if the assy and unscrew it from the fork cap.

How did you finally get your fork dissasmbled ?
