Great video.
I can't believe how bad those forks are for a '22
I agree, it's a shame 2022 Harley really need to up there game on that clear coat. Thank you for watching and all your support Greg. Ride safe and have a great day.
Rocco, that was some nice work. I've never done anything that involved on my bike but I too would love to have chrome forks on my bike. I have an 09 Road King Classic but my forks are NOT as severely banged up like that 2022 Road Glide. Thoe old forks almost appeared as though something ate through the outer layer. Very informative video. You make the task look really easy. I guess it is if you just take it slow and remember where and how things were set-up prior to unbolting stuff. My memory goofs up on me and I'd hate to screw-up something this critical. Thanks for the great video and ride safe. Don in NC 👍🏽🤠 5/21/23

Welcome back Rocco, missed ya brother
Thank you, I miss you guys too. I was laid up. A little back problem, but I'm trying to get it back together. I'm gonna try to go up to Daytona this weekend but I got to be careful. Thank you for watching and all your support and I am happy in Florida. Ride safe and have a great day.
Been a while Rocky ! Glad your fine ! Cheers 🍻
Thank you. I did hurt my back. I was a little under the weather. But I'm getting ready for Daytona. That always puts a smile on my face. I'm getting better and better. Thank you for watching and all your support DeeJay. Ride safe and have a great day.
That's no Florida accent you have there Rocco. You don't miss the snow do you? 😁
My 2012 StreetGlide lower forks had a clearcoat on them but, it doesn't last long. I painted the fork lowers on my bike.
When I rebuilt the front forks on my 2000 WideGlide, I sanded the fork lowers and polished them using and electric buffer. They look like chrome now.
New York, New York. I do not miss that snow. Thank you for watching and all your support Ardy. Ride safe and have a great day.
P.s. great video, very informative
Glad you liked it! Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and your sub Mike ride safe. Have a great day.

@@TwoWheelRocco I’ll have it done but not by the dealer. I don’t mind paying fair prices and letting people make some money.
@@stevesmith1493 That's the right mindset. Have a great day my friend.
Nice video, waiting on some more Sportster videos but anything is good from you.
They are coming. Thank you for watching and all your support Normalish Guy. Ride safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco thank you, also you as well bud, ride safe and have a great day
Good job! Almost makes me think i would do this myself. No I think I will let HD do this one.
Happy to help, Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and your support Dave, Ride Safe and have a great day
Great job Rocco.
Damn shame HD always had this problem and they've Never changed the coating.. Gid forbid them using chrome
I agree. What will it take for them to realize they're screwing people. It put a bad taste in your mouth. Thank you for watching and all your support Mike. Ride safe and have a great day.
Great videos Rocco .
You break things down nice and slow 👍👍
Side note, which borough is your accent? I can listen to you all day
Happy to help. Any questions just ask. Job comes out real nice with those chrome forks. My accent I would say Bayridge and Long Island, New York. Thank you for watching and all your support Slickspapiro. Ride safe and have a great day.
Thank you very much.
It helped me a lot.
But FRONT AXLE and DAMPER TUBES
Which one is it?
Happy to help. Any questions just ask I don't understand front axle and damper to. Thank you for watching and all your support Sung. Ride safe and have a great day.
Torque spec. Damper tubes - 30 to 37 foot pounds.
Top plug - 28 foot pounds.
clamp bolts - 14 to 18 foot pounds.
Front axle - 55 foot pounds, 7/8 nut.
fender Hdwe. 1/4 - Allen head.
Thank you for watching. Ride safe and have a great day.@@TwoWheelRocco
That's what's mentioned here.
Being skint I just used very fine wet and dry to remove the broken lacquer surface.
Happy to help. Thank you for your comment and your support Mike. Ride safe and have a great day.
Did I miss it? What is the piece that goes on before the fork seal? I think you called it a bushing. At 16:08 you hammer it in with the pvc piece. Also, what size pvc pipe? Excellent video! Thanks!
Happy to help. Yes, that would be the bushing. When you buy the seal kit, go to Home Depot and match it up to a PVC pipe I don't recall the exact measurements.. The Fork Tube is 49 mm..Thank you for watching and all your support Boomer.. Ride safe And have a great day.
I have 22 years of fltrx.If I replace myself at home without a check machine, exactly how many cc should I put in the Halli Davidson touring fork oil?
Happy to help. To stay out of trouble, when you empty the fluid, have a cup there and see how much fluid came out. If you Google your year and type. Fork for Oil Change, it should have your information so you don't have to worry about that, Thank you for watching and all your support red-line. Ride safe and have a great day.
Great job thank you and where did you get the parts
Happy to help. Those parts were the customer admission. I believe they got them on eBay. And the seals from Harley Davison. Thank you for watching and all your support Cirilo. Any questions just ask let us know how it works out. Ride Safe and have a great day
Great video my friend, one question, I don’t understand what you meant by indexing the cap when you put it back together?
Happy to help. What I meant, index it so you know where the thread starts with the tube so when you push down on the top cap, you set it a quarter inch before your thread starts and makes it a little easier to start the thread off because it is a fine thread. Could be a bit of a bear. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching and all your support BMW Dan. Ride safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco I understand now! Thank you makes a lot of sense.
@@bmwdan3445 My pleasure, Ride safe. Have a great day.
A video of where you filled the oil would have been nice
Just trying to help. The oil gets put in the top before you put the spring in before you put the top cap back on. I'm sorry. Thank you for watching all your support Jared. Ride safe and have a great day.
I got a 99 roadking it has air suspension on the front. I want to put chrome front lower forks on it, but kind find aby videos on it
Happy to help. I do not have any videos on that. Get the manual and you should be able to work it. Thank you for watching and all your support. Ride safe and have a great day. Let us know how it works out. It will help others. I have never done one. Sorry I couldn't do better for you.
@TwoWheelRocco will do, when I do it I'll update.
Hey Rocco great video. Gives me the confidence to do my own forks. What diameter pvc pipe did you use? Also did you reuse the seals and fork oil?
Happy to help. New seals and Fork oil. I use 15 weight on the new install. It was a 49 mm pipe Home Depot bring a seal with you and match it up. Thank you for watching and all your support Ed, any questions just ask. Ride safe and have a great day. Let us know how it works out. You will be happy with the chrome fronts and yes you can do it.
Did you buy the fork seals at HD?
Yes we did. If I remember right it's 49 mm seals but get them from Harley Davidson get the fork fluid from them to.@@edh7970
Merry Christmas Rocco. The bottom Allen bolt that you use the 12mm Allen socket. What are the torque specs on it? Also do you have a video showing how to remove the rear wheel? Thank you.
15 Ft lbs. will do the job. I'll send you a video of the Road King rear wheel removal. It is the same. This should help, th-cam.com/video/p5uec0J451w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nvefzIB6Q748XIep. Any questions just ask.
My 2021 road king is doing the same thing. Very frustrating
Harley Davidson should be ashamed of themselves. This is designed that way so you will have the dealer do this install. Big business. Crazy...
Where did you find chrome forks for $300
That was a customers bike. I think he paid 349. I did ask him again. His wife bought them for him so they can't be too hard to find go look on eBay. Thank you for watching Mike and it makes a big improvement. Ride safe and have a great day.
How long did this take?
Happy to help. It's not that bad but you have to be patient. You're looking at a half a day four hours. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and all your support 1833. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day. And it's a big improvement. Watch the video. Take your time and lay out. The hardest part is putting the Fork Tube top cap back on.
Wow, awesome quick reply. I have done this before on another harley, maybe 25 years ago. AND willing to do it again. I remember there was a brass ring inside the fork tube, but cant remember the model. Maybe a sportster, but just cant remember. Totally disgusted that my street glide lowers look as bad as they do. @@TwoWheelRocco
wow, quick reply. I have done this before, on a harley but cant remember the model. Maybe a sporty. it had some brass or copper rings at the bottom of the fork tube. weird. Im disgusted that the lower tubes look as shitty as they do after only 1 year on my street glide.
@@TwoWheelRocco
I agree. I believe the dealer designed it that way, most people will go for the chrome Home lowers or the black lowers. And yes there is some piece, you have your bushings they're brass and you have your washer that's right after your top bushing, watch the video. It's pretty straightforward. Thank you for your reply. Any questions just ask.@@handsome1833
@@TwoWheelRocco half a day is not bad for results like this That front end with some chrome calipers and axle nut covers wouild look super
Chromelessness remains one of the main problems in my community.
I myself like chrome. And bright colors. Thank you for watching and all your support Bill ride safe and have a great day. I think Crow and bright colors are easier to see and keeps us safer. What do you think.
