Good advice. I'm pretty tech savvy. Done this on an old Honda cruiser, and my sv650, but those were much less intricate forks, it appears. I'm going to ask the local guy what he'll charge to get this done.
How big are you? Because if your a small guy with small hands and not a natural tech guy, your going to need to buy a special tool to remove the spring. Unless you are planning on removing your springs for service, or doing this on multiple bikes, it would be easier to pay someone to do it. just my 2 cents.
