August 24, 201214 yr A little bit of hardwork never hurt anyone - but why risk it. The best way is to have the missus fit them, naked, possibly with a female friend, put your feet up and have beer and camera at the ready. Do you concurr?
August 25, 201214 yr I think he means fork SOCKS, not shocks. It can be a bit of work. I like Tankygsy's idea but I am not sure it will work. But, feel free to forward those pics! You have to remove the forks from the bike to put on fork socks. Put the bike firmly on a stand. Remove the brake capiler from the fork mount. Do not remove the hose unless you enjoy bleeding brakes. Remove the axle and front wheel. Loosen the fork clamp bolts on the triple clamps. Slide the forks out and install the fork socks. Reverse the procedure to put it all back together. Make sure everything is back exactly the way it came apart and all the bolts are tight.
