Fork You

[Cowboyrider]

How hard is it to rebuild forks? bushing and seals..

Is this something done easily?

I may be able to buy a bike pretty cheap but those need to be rebuilt but the person already has the bushing and seals to go with it...

easy? hard? go fork yourself?

Damper rod forks 6 on a 1 to 10 scale. Cartridge fork? Don't touch it. Leave it to experts.

As simple as it would seam, it's also simple to mess up and not even know you messed up. Ask Pete how I know this.

it would be on a 1986 vtwin suzuki intruder. i'm just trying to find something to ride for the fall without spending big bucks!!! but i'm a def noob when it comes to anything mechanical.

Then in that case. Just grab a flat head screwdriver and a pair of vice grips and have at it.

If the fork legs are NOT all scratched and dinged

I would say if you hand them to someone (off the bike) it shouldn't be more than $250

Easy enough job, download a manual or parts diagram, if you understand it, you can do it!
