Can anyone recommend a good shop or member in the Chicago area that could help me replace the seals on my 81 850G?
I moved to the Northwest suburbs of Chicago in March without significant tools and the movers must have cranked down on the handlebars in the moving van because my fork seals have been leaking while parked in the garage ever since.
I want to order some of Rich Desmond’s springs and replace the old springs/fluid and possibly the steering head bearings at the same time.
If if there’s a Chicago area member with a garage or shop and a willingness to help or allow me to use their vice and has a lift or rafters we can strap to or even someone that I can pay to do it, I’d appreciate it.
Or if someone can recommend a good mechanic or shop, ideally in the Elk Grove/Schaumburg/Deer Park areas the that works as well.
