Title: Getting ready for FORK SPRINGS/SEALS
Post by: AyeKay on August 09, 2008, 04:35:27 PM
So far I have ordered :

A Pair of Oil Seals - Ebay
A Pair of Dust Seals- Ebay
A Pair of Progressive Springs - Moto Access Warehouse

What else Do I require at 13k Miles, or will this do?

How much oil will I need aswell?

Look at the entire slider parts of the forks, if you have any defects, pits, rust spots, anything less than perfect, it will leak almost immediately ... may just be worth leaving it alone. I have a good many forks with that exact same problem. Pity ... no one spotted its divots before doing springs and seals.
Cool.
