SOURCE: replace harley fork lock

I would check with your local dealer to see if your lock is covered under the recall. Look to see if your lock has white on it. If it does then there's a good chance you can get it replaced for free. Other than that you need specialty tools to re align the internals of the lock to remove the top section. But to remove the top lock section you turn the lock all the way to the right. Push the pin ( under the top section ) in with a little flat head screwdriver, the while holding it in turn the ignition all the way to the left. It will pop up due to spring pressure.You can use a medium flathead screwdriver to turn the ignition off at that time

SOURCE: 07 harley street bob. front fork seal leaking

Not very common, but I don't see how the seal could scratch the tube. There are a few millimeters of clearance between the tube and metal part of the seal. The rubber seal rubs the tube and is bonded to the metal ring. Either the tube was scratched during assembly or the seal was BADLY dented somehow. Further, the tube is hard chromed and the seal metal is soft steel. Go figure!

SOURCE: harley davidson flstc heritage softail 1997

The fork oil is a very specific job needing a manual and a special tool, I don't want to insult anyones mechanical knowledge but if you have never done it before, best to take somewhere else. Engine oil on the other hand is easy, the drain tube to any softail is on the right side by where the frame meets the swing arm, has somekind of plug in it. Start and run bike for a little while, long enough to get it warm but not hot. Remove fill plug and then remove plug in drain line. Using a peice of cardboard or something put in between filter and frame , directing the oil to your drain pan instead of where ever it goes. Put 1 qt oil back in (after everything is reinstalled) start the bike and make sure the oil light goes out, when it does shut bike off and fill to the point that when it is standing upright you get a little oil on the tip of your finger, over filling may result in loss of oil cap from pressure (been there)

How to change fork oil

Take the weight off the front wheel, remove the big nut at the top of the forks, at the bottom of the forks you will see a small bolt head, this is the drain plug for the fork. Remove the plug and drain the old fluid out of the forks then replace the plugs before filling the tubes with the new fluid. Make sure you put exactly the right amount back in the tubes or you will have either a spongy ride ( not enough oil ) or a hard ride due to too much oil.

How to replace fork seals 2007 fatboy

To replace the front fork oil first support the motorcycle so the front end is off the floor and the forks are fully extended. Remember that the FLSTC and FLSTF models have a preloaded fork spring and that the fork tube plug is under spring pressure.Then you remove the fork tube caps. And then you drain the fork oil. ON FXSTD models, your remove the drain screws and washers from each fork and drain the fork oil this way. ON ALL MODELS EXCEPT the FXSTD, remove and discard the drain screws and washers from each fork and drain the fork oil and then you install new drain screws and washers. ON FXSTD models, apply LOCTITE THREADLOCKER 243 (blue) to the drain screws and tighten them to 12-18 inlbs (1.4-2.0 Nm). ON ALL MODELS EXCEPT FXSTD, tighten the drain screws to 52-78 in-lbs (5.9-8.9 Nm).THEN fill the fork with Harley-Davidson TYPE E FORK OIL (Part No. HD-99884-80).Either by installing oz or cc's of fluid if the forks were left in the frame or by measuring the amount of oil in the tubes in inches or mm if the forks were removed from the frame and disassembled. In the latter case the oil level is measured from the top of the fork tube with the spring removed and the fork fully compressed.

MODELs FLSTC, FLSTN use 13.4 OZ 395 cc4.41 inches 112.0 mm
MODEL FLSTF uses 13.4 OZ 397 cc5.04 inches128.0 mm
MODELs FXST, FXSTB, FXSTC use 12.5 OZ370 cc 6.69 inches170.0 mm
MODEL FXSTD uses 11.6 OZ343 cc 7.48 inches190.0 mm

FINALLY tighten the fork tube caps to 40-60 ft-lbs (54.2-81.3 Nm).

How do Fill Front Forks?

YOU FILL FORKS BY TAKING THE CAPS OFF AT THE TOP BY UN DOING WITH A SPANNER BUT YOU MUST DO THIS WHILE THE FRONT IS OF THE GROUND AND THERE IS NO WEIGHT PUSHING THE FORKS AND YOU NEED THE MANUAL TO SEE HOW MUCH FLUID GOES INTO THE FORKS EXAMPLE IT WILL SAY (13CM FROM TOP) THIS MEANS FROM THE TOP OFF THE FORK YOU MEASURE 13CM FROM TOP TILL THE OIL HITS THE 13CM GOOD LUCK
