you will have to remove forks, also take em apart, get type e fluid, also have a 1"3/8 wrench handy for fork top nut on triple tree, if you dont have the wrench, a socket will do, you will just have to remove the handlebars. it isnt difficult. the fork caps will prolly be tighter than they should be. a service manual has detailed instructions. i used the harley lowering springs on my 2010 sg
