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.

Hi Tim, Thanks 👍

[@Milo_Minderbinder]

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

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.

[@vintageyamahabackyardresto4995]

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!

[@calvinmartykleinmcfly6998]

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

[@AVVGCustomstudio]

Glad to help👍

[@DobroPlayer12]

This is brilliant especially the zinc plating part

[@kdsowen2882]

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

[@edbrent1232]

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.

[@ivanroiantonio3538]

why is this so under rated

[@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

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;)

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.

Amazing. Great video and very helpful

[@brufnus]

An extremely good product to prevent rust in the first place, is "Corrosion-X". It binds magnetically to metal, almost on an atomic level, and is therefore very resistant to pressure and heat. I've started using this on all different kinds of things - fork legs, brake caliper pistons, bolts and nuts, tools, exhaust, etc. I can highly recommend that product.

[@joshsrcadventures5297]

Столько работы, можно было запаять эту поврежденную область твердым припоем с флюсом, с помощью газовой горелки. А потом обработать в нужный размер. Маленькие повреждения я так ремонтировал.

[@AVVGCustomstudio]

Спасибо за просмотр и спасибо за совет, нужно будет попробовать.👍

[@richardlaidman3827]

It's been quite a while since the most recent previous comment, so, I hope you are doing well. Great video, I will be using this technique. I have a couple of questions. First, why did you choose nail polish after proving superglue was stronger? My second question is about other fork repair techniques. Have you ever repaired a vintage motorcycle fork slider by separating the cast parts and replacing the outer tube? Sorry, if my first question was previously answered, but no time to read all the comments.
