So i have noticed that the lower part of the fork tubes are slightly pitted..It's only on the very lower part and is about 1 inch or so up from the casting.
But it's only going to get worse.
The plan is to get the tubes re-chromed and get the top tube and the lower casting powder coated...
At long last the fork conversion has been road tested and apart from getting the new front mudguard painted it is ready to come home. I am also getting the belly pan painted to match the front mudguard.
Paul ( Lumley Engineering ) has second set of forks almost ready. They would require shocks...
Dear brains trust,
I have noticed the left side fork occasionally drops a small drop of fork oil on my touring model. It’s definitely coming from the bottom bolt. The bolt is definitely not tightened to the 30nm recommended by the manual so I’m guessing that is how the oil is very gradually...
Just sayin'. Kinda regret giving away my extra fixings.
I can't think about what could be neatly attacked there though. The directional and headlights are in the way. Go lower and you bump into the reflectors.
A buddy of mine had a set of 2" diameter, fork mounted LEDs on his BMW. They were very cool and I wanted a set for the new R3. Company is here: Clearwater Lights LED Motorcycle Lights and Off-road Vehicle model is Darla. I sent them an email asking if they have, or planned to make, a bracket for...
Can someone with the fork spring tool take some measurements for me? I've got access to plenty of 6061 AL thick wall pipe and was just going to cut a piece and drill/tap two holes. I would like to know what the inside diameter the circle portion is, so I can select the right size piece. Also, I...
Anybody have a right fork assembly for a 2007 Standard? My mechanic says 2004 through 2009 Standards and Classics, and the 2007 Classic Tourer will fit.
Any leads will be as helpful
Thanks

Just got my R3 Touring. Bought in from out of state. Was hoping that it might fit better than my VTX1800R. Like my 1800, I've put handle bar risers which bring the bar higher and closer, but I put them on backwards pushing them out. That helps. I've also gone with extended hi way pegs...
For the fork spring replacement going to progressives, is is necessary to fully remove the forks from yokes or can the spring swap be done with the fork tubes still in the yokes? I know many other bikes can be done with the tubes still in the yokes, but it looks to me like that approach on the...
Has anyone installed fork extensions on their Rocket? Maybe doing a trike conversion?
How long where the extensions and where did you buy them?
How difficult was the install?
Did you have to buy longer throttle and choke cables or brake hoses?
Thanks for any feedback.
Hi everyone I’ve replaced my fork seals on my 11 roadster. I haven’t disassembled the spring though. I know the manuel has you take the spring apart to accurately measure the amount of new fork oil. One fork wasn’t leaking so I let It drain overnight to try to get a accurate oil measurement...
