BMW R90/6 - Fork Disassembly - Ep 06

This video is a very short update where the forks are disassembled so we can install new fork tubes and springs that are 80mm, or about 3.5", shorter. Lowering the forks will make for a better stance one we get everything back on the bike!
If you've ever been curious about all the strange pieces that are inside those mysterious metal and chrome tubes on the front of your bike, this is a good look at all the springs and washers and dampers and rods.

Nice work! You answered many questions I didn't even know I had!

[@roodlum]

Glad I could help!

[@BIGGZ46]

Great video! Where are you buying the shortened spring and fork tube from?

[@roodlum]

We got the springs and fork tube shortening service from Walzwerk Motorcycles in Germany. Not cheap, but wanted to be certain it would work 100% correctly.

Damn, I was hoping to find somebody in the US market. Guess I'll just bite the bullet on this one. Great work on the bike, enjoying the content as well.

What made you decide to drop the bike by 3 inches instead of the traditional to is it a height thing? I am 5’7 so the highest I’m thinking about going is 2 inches on the forks should I go 3”?

[@roodlum]

Looks cool, mostly!

You call it an oil bath... I call it corrosion control. Haha
