This is my first rodeo. Getting the damper upgrade kit today and been thinking about trying to make the oil filling issue easier before starting reassembly. Stanchions still on bike, sliders are off, so if the new bush/seal assemblies from NYC are carefully slid up the stanchions and the lower bushes and then circlips fitted, can the fully assembled damper and spring assemblies be fitted into the sliders, the bottom bolt fitted up into the damper ends, oil then added and the whole thing inserted over the stanchions and up so the bush/seal assembly can be fitted and tightened ??
Top threaded caps would then be screwed down.
It sounds too straightforward, I must be missing the glaring reason that this method won’t work. Not enough capacity to accept the oil??
Comments, reasons invited.
TIA, Steve
