Can any one tell me approximately how long I should plan to replace the fork springs on an I/S?
Are we talking 3, 6 or 8 hrs?

and will the Goldwing tool fit the Valkyrie for removal?

Thank you for some insight Smiley

The fork seal driver is the same for Valks, Wings and VTX's. The left side nut remover? : I don't know.

Pardon the question here,

After the cap is removed, there is still another locking nut that holds the spring in place and can be removed with a metric socket?

I get it figured out one day.....
