About 3-4 hours of labor and parts. Fluid and a seal kit. I would say 3-4 hundred bucks. That's probably at an Indy shop. Harley 500

Do it yourself. It's not that difficult.

I just put Ohlins NIX30 cartridges in from Howard at Motorcyle Metal,and replaced all the seals. It was not hard at all. He was a video on his website the shows how's it done. You might want to purchase a seal driver, but there like $35.00

I would like the do the job myself but my time & mechanical abilities are limited.
Thanks guys for giving me an idea of the cost involved in doing the job.

Not sure how limited your mechanical abilities are, but if you have a way to raise your bike and remove the fork tubes, you,ll save a lot of money on labor by just bringing the fork tubes to the shop.
