here's what I added to my cart from bike bandit

https://www.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/basket.asp

The steeering head bearings are pretty simple.

I'm just wondering if I picked all the right stuff for the fork seals

When I follow that link I get
Your basket is empty.

They must be using cookies that are stored only on your machine.  (Pretty standard stuff for online "shopping baskets".)

What year is your bike again?  :roll:

It's a 96.

For the fork seals here's the number I chose.

7,6,5,4

I'm just curious as to if that's all I should need to do a seal swap.

Item 4 is a simple metal washer.  You can reuse it.

Item 5 is the all-important part, and PROBABLY the only one you need to replace.

Item 6 is a piece of metal wire bent into a particular shape.  It functions as a retaining clip and it can be reused as well.

Item 7 is just a dust seal which you may or may not need to replace.  Up to you, but if you're OK with the price I'd go ahead and get a pair for either this time around or next....

Thanks Kerry.

For some reason the prices weren't coming up on Mozilla so I swtiched to IE and it worked for me.  I ended up going with your suggestions and just got the seal and dust covers from Ron Ayers.  I also ordered teh upper and lower bearings for the steering stem.  Looks like i may be making a how to sometime this week or next.  Now if I can just figure out how to host them on my web page from home.
