front fork rebuild or upgrade 14 limited
hi all. i have a 2014 ultra limited that is pretty harsh on bumps. i ride this bike back and forth to work mostly but plan on riding a little more when i take it camping with us. my question is should i just rebuild the front forks back with factory parts and what parts should i need to order of should i upgrade? i know the upgrade is a better ride but honestly i've never had an issue with any of my other stock suspension bikes with the way they ride.

How many miles? I rebuilt the forks on the RGL at 45k miles, that oil looked like 10 year old coffee. Did a rebuild, ( parts about 80 bucks and new oil, I used Amsoil suspension fluid ) and the OEM forks actually are pretty good, granted not like a good set of cartridges but a big improvement with just changing that expired fluid.

This has all the parts to rebuild your forks, less the oil.

Then grab the rebuild kits from HD, two bottles of Bel-Ray 20W fork oil (https://amzn.to/4cj51N8 #ad), and be done.
I'll never put a different kit in the forks. It cruises better than a new bike soaking up all the bumps, and greatly reduces brake dive and improves cornering.
