[@emmanichols5155]

Got it done, thanks for your help! Very easy overall just a little time-consuming. Could not find that class 200 PVC, so I got the 1.5" grade 40 and cut it in half down the middle then put it on and taped them together which worked as an option. The old oil was so nasty, I wouldn't be surprised it was never serviced since 2007. Thanks again!

[@DanGilman]

Hands down best video for doing this on KZbin. One thing I will add though is Home Depot no longer carries PVC pipe that will work for this. I tried splitting the closest pipe down the middle, then bought an adjustable fork seal driver (which is even more difficult than the pvc) the adjustable fork seal tool was horrible. Broke down and paid for a 41mm (2006 VTX 1300C) fork seal driver and the second one from taking it off, replacing the seal and new dust boot to putting it all back together took maybe... 45 minutes? Local dealer wanted $600 BEFORE parts and LABOR. They estimated 800-850 total with tax. Thank you for this video!

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy all went well. I took two pipes sliced them down the middle. Bring the new seal with you to Home Depot or Lowe's and try to use that as an idea on what size. Make sure it fits. Very rewarding to do your own work, especially the savings. It goes a long ways. Imagine when you do the next one, it's that much easier. The dealers are out of hand. Thank you for watching and all your support Dan. Ride safe and have a great day. Honda VTX 1300 is a great machine.

[@joshuadawson6719]

So I performed this repair on MY vtx. The only thing I had trouble with was finding the pipe. I couldn't find the specific 1 1/2 pipe anywhere, so I got what they had at the store thinking that all pvc pipes are created equal, right? Wrong! 🤣 Just a hair too small. So what I did was take a circ saw and cut a slit lengthwise down the pipe allowing it to spread open just a little farther and oiled up the inside of the pipe to aid in removing it once I had the washer, seal, and boot seated. I hope this helps anyone who runs into the same problem.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to hear all went well. And thank you for your tip and your support Joshua. Ride Safe and have a great day.

[@devonmacnaughton7858]

You just saved me $700 sir. I will say the pipe did not work for me, for some reason the 1 1/2 was too small? I have a 2004 VTX1300c. I used electrical tape wrapped around the shock to use as its own ramrod. I pulled a crappy Chinese made seal out where someone who owned the bike before me had replaced it and it never sealed properly. The 20 year old Honda one was still intact on the other side so I went and bought the OEM ones. Cost me $60, but I saved so much doing it myself I thought it was worth it. With this and the brakes I have saved about $1000 watching your videos.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy all went well. I know that schedule pipe you can't find it no more. It's a little too small. Sometimes I'll cut down the side of the pipe and then I could open it up a little bit to use that. And you can't put a price on satisfactory doing the work yourself. Thank you for watching and all your support Devon. Ride safe and have a great day. Honda VTX 13 hundreds are great motorcycles. And I will remember your tape trick..

[@DanGilman]

Same issue! I was nervous enough as is and working out in the garage in Texas at 100F. I honestly came in and went and bought a $20 fork seal driver from Buddy Bezos that I'm going to use this weekend.

[@DanGilman]

@@TwoWheelRocco I probably will cut my PVC down the middle and use that for the washer/bushing before I use the other tool I just got from Amazon on the fork seal itself.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Just take your time to one side at a time and make sure watch that video once or twice. Any questions just ask. You should have no problems, patience, and organization. Thank you for watching and all your support Dan let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day. Vtx 13 Hundred are great motorcycles.

Rocco you are the answer. I need to replace the fork seals on my 03 1800 and was worried about doing so myself. I have replaced coolant hoses, clutch and all maintenance myself, but I was worried about the seals. Now I'm confident I can do it. The way you show and use the pvc pipe, you remind me of my Dad. He could fix anything and taught me that I should be able to repair the things I own. There is a time and place where a professional is needed, but a guy should be able to repair his property. Watching you brought back the great memories of my mentor, my Father. Thank you Rocco . Be safe and well my friend

[@TwoWheelRocco]

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Thank you for watching and all your support Nathan, but it's surely worth the energy at the end of the job. Ride safe and have a great day. Next time it will be a lot easier.

[@PainterD54]

Before you tear everything apart, sometimes it just a piece of dirt under the seal that causes it to leak. I had that happen on my last VTX. All that's needed is a small piece of plastic (I cut it out of an old plastic milk bottle or gallon jug) in the shape of a hook. Then stick it under the fork seal and pull it all the way around the seal to clean anything that's stuck in there. It worked for me twice and the seal quit leaking fluid. It's worth a try and can save you alot of time. Not saying it works for everyone, but it's worth a try.

@@TwoWheelRocco While doing this job, can you take the whole front-end off without any adverse effect such as losing balance of the bike?

Had trouble getting one of the caps off but used a center punch and smacked it a few times for the cap nut had been stripped by previous owner.

Thanks so much for your help in advance, Jesus loves you, John 3:16-17 (KJV)

[@TwoWheelRocco]

@@lontejay9454 let us know how it works out. I would be more comfortable using the jack and doing one side at a time and then do the tire. But I guess if you're careful and I feel secure let us know how it works out. Thank you for watching

[@lontejay9454]

@@TwoWheelRocco Sorry took so long to respond but all in all, I did do all at one time the fork seals and the tire. I did jack it up like you show in the video and took whole front-end off. I wouldn't recommend others doing it that way as you mentioned in you last reply, "But I guess if you're careful and it feel secure" that's just how I did it. While in there, replaced tire and front brakes as the brakes were soaked in fork oil. It really amazed me how easy it was after watching your video! Have been riding nicely since August and no leaks. While I was it I also replaced the slider bushings and all other junk. But I didn't have time to wait on eBay to send the stuff. Got the OEM stuff, cost was high, and did the job and turned out well. Saved a considerably large labor bill. Thanks for all you hard work, Jesus loves you, John 3:16-17 (KJV)

I took my front wheel off and removed both as I did both of the seals. I like how you avoided that, easier and you had the other side to reset with. Did you take out the spring so that you could clean everything out? I did this without having to take that spring assembly out, however not that what you did was much extra work. I think that I will take that out next time. Thank you sir and keep up the great work. I saved about $600 for doing my own work on my seals. Well worth it!

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. I did remove the spring. And quickly cleaned with brake fluid cleaner. It is the best feeling when you do the work, Thank you for watching and your sub my friend.. Ride safe and have a great day.

[@shdwchsr]

Thanks for such an easy to follow video. I am having trouble removing the tube from the lower fork. I have pulled and rotated and pulled and rotated and it’s not budging at all. Also, whenever I pull up the upper tube binds binds to where I have to hit it at the top with rubber mallet to unstick it. Going at it for over an hour with no noticeable movement. All bolts removed, reviewed video multiple time to make sure didn’t miss anything. At an impasse, any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Tried to rotate it hit it rotated hit it rotated hit it and it should go. Are usually use a red bucket and I'll just hit it to the floor and then turn and slam it up. usually that's what works. Give yourself a break and come back to it. Spray a little penetrating oil and let it sit and then try it again. Let us know how it works out. I can get frustrated be patient happened to me once that I remember how they came.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

I just want to say I didn't hear you mention the C clip that holds the bushing and seal in place. besides the bolt in the bottom. Try penetrating oil.

[@shdwchsr]

Yes removed the c clip. The seal looks pretty deteriorated on the top don’t know if that’s the issue. Will do penetrating oil and try again in the morning. Thanks for the fast response.

[@shdwchsr]

Worked on fork for two evenings. Upper finally came loose. Left the seal and washer still in the lower. Pulled straight through them.

Hey Rocco! Thanks for giving me the courage to do the seals on my vtx. Saved several hundred dollars. But geez I ran into problem after problem. Caliper bolt had been rounded off. Tried to drill it and use a screw extractor, only to have it break off in the bolt. Finished the right side. But had to split the pvc from home depot. Evidently there has been a slight change to the id of the pvc. Then i get to the left side and the head of the hex screw at the bottom of the fork is rounded out. Guess I will try to figure that one out tomorrow. Great video!!!

@@yomomma6865 yes it will work out fine, splitting the PVC pipe. I usually go to Home Depot with the seal in my hand so I can match it up. plumbing supply the pipe is for sinks installs. Hope this help I just noticed your comment.

A person on our VTX FB page commented that after the fluid goes in, to pump the fork to get any air out before putting the top together.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

It helps but did you ever try and stop and air bubble good luck. People just try to make things complicated. Its a Dealer thing. I think the air is going to rise physics. Have a great day and thank you for watching.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Sorry to hear that these pipes must've changed over the years cut it down the center so you can make the pipe wider and fit it over the tube that should help you out a slice down the middle double it up and that should work out. Let us know how that works. Let us know how that works out.

[@Oceandiver11727]

Thank for such a well done video on this work. I watched a different video on doing the seals on my Valkyrie and it took me two days ! Your video made the job so much easier to do...done in a couple of hours. I have one question. I can just get the threads started on the drain plug (holding the fork in my hands, not installed on the bike yet). The piston the screw goes into just spins, I can't tighten it. Is this normal? When will it stay so I can tighten the drain screw? PS...I didn't have thread sealer so I used teflon tape, maybe that was a bad idea?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. I believe that the Teflon tape is causing you this problem. You can get away without using any sealer that brass washer will seat and you'll have no problems Thank you for watching and all your support Deadshot. Ride safe and have a great day.
