    THANKS!! The best and the only site that explains to me the lack of Power in my 883. I recently bought a new cap and I’ve noticed the vapor release when I opened it. My bad ´cause the cap is one that I bought in that “wish” app

    Harley Fork Oil Service

    Bob and Mark demonstrate the best way to empty Harley fork oil from your Sportster’s front fork sliders and replace it with new oil. It can be a two-man job, so try to complete the service with a friend.
