    Can GP fork inserts be refurbished?

    Archer, yes the GP setup will fit into a gen 1 fork. When ChazGlen had an issue with his gen 2 forks, he bought a set of gen one forks off ebay for the cartridge. They had GP cartridges in them. We installed them into his gen forks. Works just fine.

    2014 FJR1300A Broken Fork Damper

    One thing to consider, is the torque value for the bottom bolt to the cartridge is too much. Max at Traxxion Dynamics recommends snugging it up and then give the bolt just a little more. It's got a copper washer underneath and won't leak and won't break the cartridge. The bolt can't fall out...

    Scraping Highway Pegs

    What Skooter says ^^^ My '06 with GP Suspension front and rear never drug highway pegs. Bike was properly suspended for 2up riding fully loaded. Now the center stand is a different story. If there was a hard bump in the middle of a turn it would hit all the time. Not upsetting the bike...
