I would say that is reasonable. I had my forks done last year by an experienced local (1 hour away) guy. Even he had a hard time with my forks because of something, neither Erik or I remember what it was. So I'm glad I didn't try to do it myself.

I don't understand why you need to loosen this to remove forks? My forks just slid out.

I am installing a 2006 GSX-R750 front-end onto my 2005 SV1000S. The SV's triple clamps are too small for the GSXR fork tubes.

I would pay the extra $25 for new seals. After all that helps keep everything "sealed" up otherwise a new rebuild wouldn't make sense.

Ah. I understand. I figured there was a logical reason you needed them off.
