Here one can see the simple three-point method of working on the front of the bike -- no fancy mounts, and using a standard floor jack and wood spacer(s). The bike has been raised on the right side, so it rests on the three points of the rear tire, side stand, and jack under the frame on the right side. This provided enough clearance to remove the front wheel, fender, and forks. Both calipers have been moved back over the fall-over guards, out of the way, and one sees the ABS sensor hanging.
One fork is already gone, and Kenny is removing the second fork.
Here you see nicely the profile of the OEM Metzler Marathon with 7,404 miles on the left, and the two new Avon Cobras (purchased from
Rocky Mountain ATV)
Disassembly of the old fork. Note the actual work on the forks was done in his fully equipped trailer, a significant part of his business being track side support during race season.
