Snarley Bill Posted November 8, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 8, 2008 getting ready to put a complete racetech suspension upgrade on my gold wing. been looking for all kinds of excuses to delay the job, last one being the st. jude ride. now i have run out of excuses, got the kit, all the parts i need, and the time so the front end is coming off. this is a major job on a wing cuz ya can't even see the front forks much less take them off. wish me luck. surely i can pull this off by spring. actually it should'nt take more than a weekend. bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orrin Posted November 8, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 8, 2008 Let me know how it goes, and please take lots of pictures. You might want them too, so you know how it goes back together. I know one thing about a wing, the plastic fasteners come in different lengths. Keep track of what went where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
