fender bender 59 Posted April 12, 2010 .Does this seem about right? NO!!!! I just had my son's showa forks and shock serviced for $200 even.... That was new seals and dust covers with oil and outer bushing in the forks... But I don't use a brand (honda) type shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakota Kid Posted April 12, 2010 I would do it yourself if you have a little mechanical ability. Buy a fork seal driver and Cap nut wrench from Rocy Mountain ATV. Watch the videos on twin chamber forks (part 1 & 2) on the rocky Montain ATV website. Also read your Zook service manual while doing it. It is not that hard and you will learn something. Probably do it for about $130 including buying the tools, then you will have them for next time!!! Rocky Mountain Videos: (Click on Twin Chamber forks) http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/videos.do $375 to me seems very pricey. Seals should run about $50 to $60 dollars for both sides. About $25 for oil for both sides. Tools would run about $60. I have a buddy that does them for guys and he does them for $70 labor + the parts and oil. I think that is pretty fair. This does not include the rear though, have not played with that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fork seal driver I think should be a 46/47mm (is that a 46mm or a 47mm or is it just a single tool that covers both?) The cap nut wrench, I guess that is both a inner and a outer - what size would that be? Regards /.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
