[QUOTE="audiowize, post: 1296760, member: 86750"] I'll cover these since George was comprehensive in answering the rest. A fork rebuild generally consists of replacing the slider bushings, fork seals, dust seals, and oil. The valves themselves are generally just flushed out and otherwise left alone. If you're going the extra mile to replace the valves, it's a little bit of supplemental work to remove the factory valve and install replacements. If you buy Race Tech valves, you'll get some paperwork about going to their website to enter your information, then their web tool will spit out the settings that you need for your valves. When you install the valves, there are stacks of shims that are adjusted accordingly. When I installed mine, they came set properly from the factory. I'm not sure how to differentiate between Race Tech and the others, I used the RT because there are write-ups floating around on how to perform the installation. If the Tech Day occurs during your deployment, there's also a fall tech day. Otherwise, there are plenty of us floating around down here who can help you. You can probably talk some of us into spending a Saturday to get you squared away. [/QUOTE]
