Ok I've been working through the bike replacing fluids, plugs ect and no matter how much air I put in the front forks the ride still felt like a car with wore out front shocks so before replacing the springs I figured I'd try replacing the fork oil. It was pretty much sludge but everything was going along nicely untill I tried to get the air caps back on For the life of me I cant seem to get them to start threading, a combination of heavy spring tension large hands and cramped quarters have got the best of me. Does anyone know any tricks to pass on to a shade tree mechanic?

Well, you have proven the old adage, "necessity is the mother of invention". Congrats on a job well done... Ride safe..

When you replace the springs you may want to try 10 weight fork oil and there is a tool for fork cap installations.
