What benefit is there to having longer forks?

LazyR says:

Awesome video!. You explain stuff so clearly and in such a calm way. Probably one of the best motorcycle maintenance/mod videos I've seen on youtube.

So for the fork removal tool can I just use a ratchet extension bar with a 24mm Allen at the end?

James Mickley says:

what size nut or bolt (metric ? or ?) did you use to make your tool for holding bottom part inside fork tube to be able to release drain bolt ?? Thanks, Jace

Nick Ramos says:

Love this, thanks for the Time and work put in

Schuster Bro's says:

I watched multiple videos that did not mention the "oil lock piece" at the base of the fork. I have been searching for how this goes back together, even though it really goes back only one way. But you confirmed it.
Thanks for your great videos, good attitude, and knowledge, I appreciate your channel even though I have an 1100!
thanks

Jacob Embert says:

TIP: I you are having trouble installing that larger metal bushing, use your PVC and the old metal bushing to pound it in.

If tried it the way in the video and it didn't go in. I also may have been doing something wrong along the way. I hope this helps someone.

I've learned alot from your videos but I have one question. I'm doing away with my switches on my handlebars and want to still have high beam and low beam. Is there a way to do this

Tim Power says:

Where did you get your extended fork tubes

Jesse Motovlogs says:

Brilliant video man I have a 05 vlx600 single carb model and I’ve got a set of 8” over tubes to extend my front end they are Harley sportster tubes though? Will they still work? as I did some research and found they are the same diameter both as the shadow forks
