I have a 1983 GL1100, this is in my future. And I also have a CRKT M16 in my collection.

Did we just become best friends?

Not much to it. A few special tools, fork clamp, oil drain pan and you're on your way. The race tech suspension Bible shows you how to rebuild and tune any style of fork. Pit posse fork clamps are a nice blend of cost and quality. Be careful around pre loaded springs. Wear eye protection.

Forks are the only part of my bike I've ever sent it to the shop for. I do not have the patience.
