I have a 87 big red with a blown fork seal. I have turned a wrench before (rebuilt a few chevy 350s etc) but wondering what I am getting into before I start. Honda shop said 180 bucks labor plus parts. Is it very hard, do I need any special tools? Any help is appreciated!

Super easy... Just did my 85 BR a few weeks ago... If you have a leather glove, (to protect the fork lower in the vise) a small flat screw driver, and metric allen wrenches, you are good to go... Used these seals, have worked very well, and I have been known to wheelie the crap out of my BR....

I used ATF in my forks as the manual said, and it seems to be working quite well....
