Title: New wind screen
Post by: aviationfred on June 30, 2012, 11:41:51 PM
The bike is at the dealership getting new fork seals installed. Ordered a 2" taller wind screen today from Twisted Throttle. Waiting on a belly cowling from Breat Britain, and a 3/4 tank bra to cover some scrathes on the tank.

That's too bad about the fork seals.
How much it going to cost ya?
I just rebuilt mine due to leaks and also installed RPM fork valves and new springs while I was at it.
Not a hard job at all, something everyone such at least give a try once in their life time, it saves and you get the satisfaction of having done it yourself.

The fork seal replacement is $125.00. I changed them on my Interceptor 1000 years ago and remembered what a pain in the rear they were.

Is that parts and labor?

That is for labor. Forks on the bike. $75.00 if i would have taken just the forks in. The seals were $25.00

Make sure they use OEM Yamaha seals, the aftermarket seals (especially the Nev-R-Leak) don't last very long....
