    Im planning on doing an overhaul of my front forks, never done it before just wondering how difficult it is, any special tools needed or where could do it for me and for how much?

    The joys of being on nights, found this on you tube, guessing I just need the tools and parts now.

    Not that difficult if you're used to using spanners etc. The real problem is the Allen bolt at the bottom of the fork leg (cbr 600) i cut an Allen Key down with a Wisser and used it with socket set and torque wrench, supposed to be 14 ' lbs more like 90+, Take photos as you strip it down, good luck.
