Doesn't complete fork removal from yoke also entail compete removal of bars and all its attachments and later re-adjustments? Go with what seem the easier route as nil effort lost if too frustrating, just carry on as rest of us generally to do. I tried many seeming short cuts but mostly seemed the extra struggles effort cancelled out the time/labor factor and made nicks and scratches on cycle and mechanic more likely. Do want to hear about noticed differences for sense of past upgrades that may still apply today. I and few bored smart owners here/there once had in one place, range of spring lengths, stansions, sliders, damper rods, damper tubes on all Roadholders models, to alert ya every vintage era unto today progressive spring are all weaker over all than the 'single' rate springs range that fit in various Roadholder models. Pointy being if not jockey weight pilot may end up opening forks again to replace the springs. Just saying- as sometimes thats why special goodies are available again so prep mind jumping Norton parts fences. Btw What are the trick dampers design?
