Put my baby to bed for the winter...Miss her already.
The biggest mistake of my life was not buying a raider sooner

Yeah, they do that every year.  I never seem to see it, so I just keep on riding.

Threaded in my 3 inch extentions and hopefully I can do some riding this weekend (its supposed to be in the 50's) and make sure I dont have any leaks before I pull the forks down.

I used teflon tape and even replaced the exiting O-Ring with a slightly larger one and it did the trick.

Good luck!

I didnt use any tape but Im starting to wonder if I should have? Ive read posts that some that have used tape and some that didnt. How much thicker was the O-ring that you put in?

Just slightly thicker.  I couldn't find one in metric measurements, but picked up one that was really close and compared it to the original and it was just slightly thicker.  Sorry, I don't remember the size I ended up buying.

No problem-I will see if they leak before I do anything, no big deal to thread them back off and put tape and bigger o-ring in since I havent lowered the forks yet.

Finally installed my Kurykan Sub Fender and license plate frame.   A lot of work but got it done.
 
Also installed my RAIDER shifter from Custom Rider. Looks clean.


Hard to see but here's a couple of pix.

Got my first set of LEDs put on Friday night. Not as hard as I had thought. The hardest part was figuring out where to secure with zipties. The ones that come with the Custom Dynamics kit seem to be meant to secure wires to other wires or hoses; not big enough to wrap around the frame at all.

But it's done, and I'm happy and now I want more.  ;D
