Re: 636 safety sleeve (fork) and seal replacement
i dont really do endos ever since i flipped one awhile back cause it fucked up my back and shoulder bad where i still wake up in pain... you think i should still get it done? and i do miss endos sometimes, they are so sick but im scared to even try them on the 636 cause if the forks break i really dont want to go through the pain and money again

Re: 636 safety sleeve (fork) and seal replacement
so i have the chance to buy 06 forks with 500 miles on them for 250ish, do these need the reinforcement as well? or should i just get mine sleeved and rebuilt?
how much is shipping typically?

i think OMR has 07 forks if i'm not mistaken.
My forks are at FT right now gettin the sleeves put in. i ordered it and about a week later got a box in, i shipped mine to him last thursday i believe and the package got there on monday, hoping to get the forks back this coming week cuz i need to get my bike finished, but we'll see. overall its probly a 2 to 3 week turnaround time

fork seal jobs are not fun from what i understand. make sure you got all the right tools for that. i know my buddy doesn't even do them and he has his own shop.
