Comment on FORKING GOOD !

Hi Tony:

With the Fantic forks, even though stock they come with double seals, the hot setup is only to use one seal per leg.....less friction.

Jim,
Glad that one was of some help. You might find "How to, Changing Fork oil seals" useful as well with a lot of pics as you go through the steps. It was published in Jan 2008 so you will need to come down to previous years and hit 2008 and then Jan.

Just subscribed a couple days ago, and the first blog received is about fork upkeep. Awesome timing as I'm jutst about to embark on a fork job on my OSSA MAR. Appreciated the text, and especially the pics. Thanks, Tony!

The main point is being overlooked here. The cost is not an issue when there is one club with events in your area and the other with none. Although if we were to talk cost then try the fuel costs from Roswell,NM to Buckeye,Phoenix, AZ (our nearest AHRMA event) approx 14 hrs in an RV.

Tony,

I've enjoyed reading your blog. I have a Bultaco Sherpa T M191 which I am planning to ride in at least the Turkey Rock event. I was a little disappointed to see the obvious lack of AHRMA events planned for the Colorado region for 2012 and was hoping the ITSA would become active in this area. This sounds like it will be good and I'm excited to start riding vintage trials again. I rode RMTA way back in 79 on a Sherpa and I've done a couple AHRMA events but it's been a while. I'll be sure to say Hello at the event/events.

Chris

You need to come to Bull Hollow ! Great piece of land. You will enjoy the Manx, tough but fair, my best memories were going up the 200+ steps by Douglas harbour...... nearly rattled your eyeballs out of their sockets with a serious Manx Hangover. Well done on the recruiting, see you on the circuit.
