Guest YoshiJohnny Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I have never encountered this before The Bandit 1200 forks I am gonna use needed replacement (non gen) stanchions brand new but they don't come with damper holders...so you have to grind the old stanchion tube just enough to release them...then roll the edge of the new tube once the parts are in place,, Having never had to do this I am wondering if anyone has any tips or has a tool or something to do it right?? peening over with a hammer is a last resort never too old to be learnin' YJ Quote
Rene EFE Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Err, this strikes me as odd. Wouldn't you already encounter this with a simple rebuild of these forks, or could you then work around it? Quote
canamant Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 So if the "roll" isn't perfect the damper rod could pull through the bottom of the stanchion....... I might think twice about the ride now YJ ! Quote

It was actually a piece of piss to do and is every bit as good as the original now as the holders are held tight and square as you peen the end over and seat it.. 13 hours ago, canamant said: So if the "roll" isn't perfect the damper rod could pull through the bottom of the stanchion.......
