How hard is it to replace 03 954rr forks and triple tree? Is it anything like coilovers?

 

easy, with the correct tools

 

Yep, gotta have a Long Weight. But if you couldn't figure this out yourself it's probably too hard for you.

Someone who is slightly mechanically inclined, has a service manual, and has a good set of stands (or some rafters in the ceiling) can handle replacing and redoing the forks.

 

thanks for the help guys.

Indeed, super easy stuff once the bike is suspended.

 

so thats being held up with those cords around the frame. I also have to replace the triple tree?

 

well what is it you are doing? was the bike in an accident?

the forks slip right out of the triple clamps, so unless your changing offset or diameter etc why change the triples?

 

Im looking into buying this bike that was in an accident and the forks and triple tree needs to be replaced. ill get the link and put it on here i gotta go eat dinner now. I want to make sure i can do everything myself before i buy this bike and spend to much money.

 

if the triple clamps are damaged you could have bigger problems than simple replacement. if the bike hit hard enough to bend triples I would get an analysis done if I were you, then pricing starts to become in issue.

 

what else could be damaged? he said that insurance company came and looked at it and thats what they said was wrong.

well I would have a look see around the welds on the head tube, and that will still not be any guarantee. they would have to be zyglowed to be sure. damage does not look that bad. Insurance companies are not MC experts, they just figure out how much something will cost to repair versus what the loss would be and in most cases they just total it. bike looks very repairable, but doing the way you are thinking about doing it (just replacing triples and forks without alignment) can yield troubles only after the bike is assembled and riden... if you get my drift

 

those weret he parts i needed but yea im going to get in aligned and stuff

 

STREETFIGHTER... FTW!

Anyways it is pretty simple to replace forks and 3 trees. Just take note how it is and pay attetion as you tear it apart! Just need basic tool set.

 

thanks

 

my ins company said the total of my car (when i tboned someone) would be around 6,000 dollars. i was pissed cuz i didnt want a damaged car back, i wanted it totaled.

1 month later after repairs, my cars still in the shop because they found more damage. the total damage exceeds 10,000. should have been totaled gdmnit!

dont trust estimates prior to a teardown.

 

thanks for all the help guys
