Hey everyone. I'll be attending my 1st track day up at NYST in June. I'm concerned that I either won't pass tech inspection, or should probably get my fork cap replaced for the sake of suspension tuning while I'm there (and well, in general). Unfortunately last May, I hit a deer going ~50mph and this was the only thing I have yet to replace. I'll throw a few pics of the accident at the bottom.
Is there a way for me to replace that without taking the fork out of the triple tree? I have the means to if need be, but I assume I'd need a fork spring compressor, and I don't have one at the moment. I believe the fork cap & o-ring I need are #s 9 and 10 in the parts diagram from Revzilla.
Also, regarding tires, I'm advised to have at least 50% left (Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II). I'm not home to get measurements at the moment, but I think I'll be okay for my first day. The front had .078" tread depth remaining to the wear indicator, and the rear .110", when it was purchased (also last May, granted, I've put a only ~600 miles on it since due to the accident and that's at 36/36psi). I have plans to order a set of Q3s afterwards. I'll get a better shot of the tires tomorrow.
Any suggestions or advice is appreciated!
