I fitted the Free Spirits triple trees today. Those old tree's ... man they are heavy! Hoping to rebuild the forks tonight with a valve kit and have the front back together tomorrow with the fork brace as well.

Pulled the forks apart last night and added new internals for the forks, with a dampening valve in there for good measures.

I wouldn't say anyone could do it, but if you're mechanically inclined and have the proper tools to do it, it's simple. I would make sure you have the maintenance manual for the bike though. You can't go wrong.

Trust me, I'm an engineer. Haha! do you know how many times I've been told that, in my line of work, only to shake my head and walk away
Use an impact along with a long Allen socket on the bottom bolt (drain) of the forks. If you do get adventurous, I'll make your life easy.

Just a quick shot. Tank lift is installed and the tank raised 3" and now ... it's time to chop the back end up.

Any update on this? Curious to see what you do with the rearsets.

Did the new internals help eliminate the diving these stock fronts love so much?

I haven't check on that but these triple trees only work with the stock Street front forks ..... and I have a secret.
Shhhh... don't tell anyone.... but I know a US based company currently developing a triple tree for the Street 500/750 that will use the high performance Suzuki GSXR front forks.

I've added the "Free Spirits" fork upgrade kit. #201214 & fork brace #201400 . I had HD dealer install these parts but this is all bolt on.
Can't begin to put in words what a difference it's made in the handling of the 750. It's down right nimble. Added stability at higher speeds, when cornering, and braking. Amazing! Great products and worth every cent.
