For example, will I need to replace the fork bottoms with say, OEM street bob components?
Did a works conversion cartridge kit on my LRS. Youre gonna need everything from the right side below the spring. Aside from obvious like seals. Buffer tube & top out spring, OIL LOCK AND BOTTOM BOLT & CRUSH WASHER from right lower. Those 2 things had me scrambling last minute a bunch of dealers and driving because they werent on my parts list I originally bought before teardown. Fortunately , I found em a 2 hr drive away. They arent parts usually stocked.

Does someone have a parts list of the HD stuff required? Are you talking about the p/n 46615-06 packing seal? Is that all that is needed?

Thanks for this! My tubes finally came in so I'm going to do the install this week. Your heads up will save me some time for sure.

Default The real deal on installation.

The real deal on installation.

I have a few sets of these. I am currently making tools for them so I can re-Valve them if necessary. You guys are making way too much out of this. I usually (almost always) replace the bushing (depending on miles) and always replace the oil seals. The scrapers do not have to be replaced unless they are damaged. You already have an oil lock(s) and spacer seal(s) in your existing forks. Crush washers? Resurface them and make them flat, done. This is a very easy install, if you can read & follow directions and have a few specialized tools than anyone does not need to go through the many unnecessary items/concerns listed above above. Buy a manual and first read it. The only problem I see if when you get the cartridges and they do not perform exactly the way you want them (personal choice here), what are you going to do? The cartridges can be tuned (within the cartridge capabilities) just like any Superbike.

Maybe you didnt read about the guy above doing forks on a Low Rider S. Or confused.... But not sure what youre talking about if youve done a few sets..... BUT I can tell you the left oil lock is contained in a cage in the fork leg and not removable. The lower bolt is a different diameter because it threads into the oem cartridge. Hence a right side bolt and is required to work with the buffer tube. Why in the hell wouldnt you spend nothing on new crush seals? But whatever, each his own.
