2002 FLHT Front Fork
OK so newby question here. Recently got a new to me 2002 FLHT. Love it but, did not realize one of the front forks is bent when I bought it. Nice shady seller huh. So my question is do I take it to the locale shop to fix for hundreds or do I do it myself. I am good with tools just not experienced with bikes. When i have it done I am either doing or having done 14" Santee apes. I am not worried about doing bars. If I have the shop do it they quoted me $1100. Just trying to save money.

I think that price quoted you for the work is WAY too high. I am having to use a shop to do my winter upgrades this year: 14" bars, chrome sliders, swapping out gauges, remove and reinstall painted inner fairing, change trees to tri-glide trees, and installing stretched gas tank - Labor bid: $850, not including paint work.
Personally, if you are going to have it done, shop around a bit more.

I would change them out for 2006 streetglide fork assemblies. That way you get rid of the cartridge set up that the 02' forks have and get a better fork assembly. It makes oil changes easier and the valving in the 06' legs is much better. You can buy them from Harley and they come with oil already in them so all you have to do is slip each one up into your triple trees. They cost about $250. each.
