Need a bit of advice.

Rode a track day at CMP a few weeks ago and the Superhawk has been sitting in garage since anxiously awaiting the Chucktown track day on the 29th. Yesterday I noticed that my right fork tube was leaking. Needless to say I need to get this fixed before the track day. With only a week left I'm trying to figure out the quickest way to get this done. Any thoughts?

I figure I should take the opportunity to upgrade the crappy stock forks while they are off the bike. I'm planning to get the following items from Race Tech: Gold valve kit, Springs and fluid. Hope to get these parts ordered early on Monday with quick shipping.

Anyone have any suggestions on who locally can install the parts by Saturday?

Hoping this all works out this week so I don't have to miss the track day.

Thanks!
Dave

Call The service dept around 9:30 and set up a time to come in and get it done. If you take the fork off it will be cheaper 8435544600

Assuming you get the parts on time (you should order both seals, maybe even a spare, since they are surprisingly fragile), you should give DK a call - 568-8841. I know he's backed up, but maybe he'll squeeze you in. No matter where you get the work done, though, it'll be cheaper and faster if you simply bring in the forks, like Jason said.
