Fix Damaged Leaking Forks

#Restoration #Repair
In this episode, I want to discuss about Damaged Scratched or Rusted Leaking Forks, and How to Fix them on a Budget.

Instead of the JB weld can use Novol termo epoxy putty - Much cheaper but works as well.

[Milo_Minderbinder]

Great video, thank you! Exchanging parts has unfortunately become the standard nowadays. But repairing on a budget is the real thing!

I loved the zinc method to prevent rusting, well done.

[kdsowen]

That is the most simple 'Zinc-method' I have seen . great video. Dave NZ

Hoy lo Ise me quedo súper mis barras, ya no filtra aceite y su funcionamiento está 🆗 saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪

[RobertoObz]

I'll try it with my inverted telescopic.. Thanks brother from 🇵🇭👍

[sethbrown]

Man, where have you been all my life?!

Just what I need to remove pitting along my forks!

Thank you!

[adrianantones]

Really comprehensive and straight forward video.

Wow didn't know you can zinc plate with a battery. Thanks for this.

[mr.dr.k]

The Zinc Plating you did is very clever. We'll done. My legs aren't near as bad, just some scoring on the 1st few inches of travel, so after watching this video, I feel confident that I can salvage mine and get some riding in this Spring and Summer. Thank you.

Eres un genio, salvaste mi moto, justo acabo de reparar las horquillas de mi moto usando pega loka (súper glue) rellenando los orificios marcados en las barras, luego lijando con lija muy fina y finalmente aplicando cera abrillantadora.

Quedaron perfectas al tacto, sin fugas.

I got some buffing discs that go on a drill along with some different grit "clay" and applied it to my forks. What a difference! A lot of time the older bikes either have old clear coat that has yellowed due to UV or some say it is the anodizing process. At either rate, I strip it off with acetone and 0000 steel wool and buff it with the pads and clay. Great video!

[edbrent]

Excellent video thank you, it's given me the confidence to try myself on a Suzuki RV125 Van Van fork stanchion - I tried new seals first but they did not stop the leak. The sanding is now complete, rubbing compound next then to pound store for cheap batteries - most other shops only seem to stock Alkaline now.

[CLLUK]

Absolutely fantastic and so well presented! Thank you. 30mins ago I was considering buying a new chromium fork for my m/c as I just replaced the seals and whilst assembling the last one I inadvertently damaged the surface (near the oil seal) and created a dipple which I sanded the burs off so it wouldn't damage the seals but of course I still have the dipple which now I will try applying a spot of steel epoxy and sand down to a lovely smooth finish - okay, that's the idea :) Anyway, thanks again

Great job brother especially the zinc plating part. Love and respect from india❤️❤️❤️

[aaarus]

Вот жежь... Век живи, век учись, как говорится. Никогда бы не додумался замазывать эпоксидкой шероховатости на вилке. Спасибо за идею, попробую. Как раз вилка от ИЖа валяется на реставрации. Прекрасный английский, кстати;)

[stevebell]

Love the zinc plating idea. Was worth watching just for that alone. Cheers
