I would guess the fork seals are going to be similar to previous models, at least in the installation. For that you will need a seal driver that wraps around the tube for you to slide hammer the new seal and spacer back into the lowers when you reassemble. I would be very hesitant to install the seals then try to slide the tube down into the lowers. A very good chance of tearing a seal while doing that. Then you get to do it all over again.

 

I am getting ready to put the chrome upper/lowers on my 14 Trike and I have the service manual and have read up on removing the complete fork tube as you suggested. I have a question about reinstallation when done. The shop manual says there is a measurement that needs to be checked when installing the forks into the triple tree, I guess to make sure they are not two high? I have done this job on an older touring Harley that I had and there never was a question about reassembly height. Another difference with the 14 is that the top cap on the fork does not need to be removed to remove the forks, only the two pinch bolts on the triple tree on each side.
If you have done this or if anyone on this site has done this on a 14 any help clearing this up would be great.

 

Yes you are correct about not installing them to high, the top of the fork tube can be pushed through the top over 1-inch unlike previous years. They should actually just barely go through the top clamp. Just take a good look at it and maybe take a close up picture before dis assembly and you'll be fine.

 

I had my trike apart the other day to put in a new color matched fairing and I took a pic of the front of the bike. This photo shows just how much above the upper triple tree my forks extend now. Guess I will take a set of digital calipers and measure how far up they sit.
