    Headshok Super Fatty Ultra DL 80mm Maintenance Parts

    I picked up a 2007 F4 with a Super Fatty Ultra DL 80mm Headshok for cheap and plan to use it as a city / bike path bike. I haven't done anything with the headshok yet but it holds air and I guess the bearings seem fine. I can tell it's low on oil though.

    I've searched a lot and looked into this a good deal. I think I can handle overhauling it myself but I cant find some of the things I know I need.

    Anyone know of a good source for the right castle tool? Can anyone give the part number for this tool?

    I also need a source for the o-ring kit.. and/or part number if anyone knows it.

    I guess it's possible I might ditch it for a solid fork but I want to give the headshok a shot first. I guess from what I'm reading this one should be one of the more reliable headshoks?? anyone else have an opinion on that??

    Thanks.

    Should be quite reliable, no different than many others in that respect.

    As for DIY, all I'm gonna say is, do your research, buy all the proper tools (no skimping thinking you can get by with X), have a six pack on hand, several free hours, and have fun. I get many boxes of loose parts from such endeavors gone bad, I'm here for you.

    Thanks, I'm trying to make sure I get all the correct parts and tools but can't find the o-ring kit and castle tool. I'm finding some that might work but I'm not sure. If anyone can share part numbers and/or show me where to buy these it would be awesome. Thanks.
