Title: Fork Seals
Post by: cunighthawk13 on April 21, 2008, 06:33:59 PM
I just noticed today that I've blown a front left fork seal. Any idea on where I can order new ones for less than a local dealer charges?

There 20 bucks from the dealer. I wouldnt waste anymore time out of my life trying to find such a vital part cheaper on line.

You can get an OEM replacement from bikebandit.com for $11.70

Man you guys were fast...I'll check the dealer tomorrow. Any ideas on exhaust or a new gas cap? The cap froze one winter night and hasn't worked right since I broke a key off in it so I just need a new one. As for exhaust...do I need to buy new headers or is there a way to cut it and weld on a new one (bolt on would be awesome). Also I want to put a wider rear tire on it, but the rear brake bracket is in the way...any ideas on how to redesign it to get it outta the way?
