Hi all,
56 year old granddad who rides a HD 883r sportster.
Found the site whilst looking to get my front forks fixed.
Looks interesting from what i have seen so far.
Now all i have to work out is how to stick an avatar on

Hi there Mr mental,

Welcome to swb. A guy I used to Work with had the 883 and he could make that sing. Followed him one day and he was spinning up the rear wheel and everything.
Intentionally of course.

Dive on in and enjoy. Rideout Sunday?

Hiya, I would love to but atm the poor lil 883 is in the garage...front fork seal gone, also, pitting on the stanchions so need to get it sorted

Seal is not so much of an issue. Pitting sucks though. You may get away with some wet and dry. It's tate the edge off and Save the seals.

Hey Mental... After the wet & dry on the pits. Use a cotton wool bud to apply etch primer then lacquer leave to go hard and flat back. Did this on a mates bike its lasted for 3 years.
