I went ahead a replaced the font fork seals. I used an engine hoist to hold up the bike while it was on a swing-arm stand. I made the compression tool out of 2x2 and 2x4s. It worked perfectly fine with a medium sized ratchet strap. All in all it took about 3 hours start to finish...

That's on my list of things to do to the '08 front end. Getting the '09 back on the road is the first priority though. |

Interesting workaround with the compression tool. I have the tool from Traxxion but it works best with 3 hands--two to push down on the tool, and one to slide in the shim. |

I made a set for "fork-service" I'll see if I can find it. No joy, maybe pix?

![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/811246.jpg) Damper tube "fisher" - 1/4" NPT to football needle to brass tube. all soldered together. Make sure the whole tool is open in the middle, need to be able to blow thru it.
![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/811247.jpg) Clamp for fork tube, put in vise level.
![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/811248.jpg) Level gage - 30-60cc syringe, tubing(hard and soft) and a piece of soft tubing to set depth of fork oil from top.
![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/811249.jpg) compressor - take a ratchet strap and cut all but the last neg curve. Put the hooks in the damper tube with the strap going thru the axel hole. |
