who to send my forks to....
i need a fork seal replaced on my 03 Wp 43 usd fork. who would you send it too to have it replaced? and how would you go about doing it? gofasters will do it for about 75 plus shipping if they use my same dust sweeper, and right now thats looking like the best idea. anybody got anywhere else i should consider?

Why not do it yourself? It's not hard on those forks.

If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, why not have the forks completely serviced and revalved at the same time. Les at LT-Racing has very reasonable pricing.

i do not feel comfortable doing it myself, i cannot afford to screw up. what all does revalving entail? like what would it do to my suspension? i have thought about it, but i think les charges 150ish? for it, and i dont know if spending that money at my skill level would be worth it. to say that im a noob would be a gross understatement. and i think they work ok. what would revalving do? sorry for the ignorance, i just dont know a whole lot about bikes, much less suspension.

revalving will make your suspension operate properly - fork seals are very simple to change, i believe i posted a video link a while back that walks you right through it. if you are gonna send them out, gettting them revalved by ltr is the smartest thing you can do. most likely the front suspension is all outta wack for your weight/riding style/skill level.

If you're new to riding, I wouldn't bother with a revalve unless you're either really light or really heavy. Stock the suspension will be just fine for someone learning. For just the fork seals, just take the forks to a local bike shop. Any decent mechanic should be able to do the seals on those forks.

you have had them done yes? how much did it cost you? i just sold the motor out of my truck for 300 bucks, so thats my budget for now. im going to call them later and see what they have to say. hopefully its a feasable idea

i have no clue what has been done to the forks, i know they feel dang stiff over small stuff. i bought it used, and i am at least the 3rd owner, so all sorts of stuff could have been done to it. the idea sounds better and better the more i think about it..... if i do just get the seal done, ill have gofasters do it, as i live in minnesota anyhow, and they seem well priced.

Les will wave his magic wand and totally alleviate that problem. Ask me how I know.
