Fntastic work Pdedse, done the same on my upside down forks on the cb1000r, caked-on stuff on the inside of the forks
worked its way in between the seal lips, the front fender has some protecting shields build in and they do a fine job but it still needs some attention from the owner for best results.
First thoughts were to replace the seal, thought about it and decided that a seal does not wear out at 20.000 km!
Did the same thing as you did with perfect result, i could feel something at the back of the fork leg so cleaned both with autosol and maintain a regular cleaning routine, some insects leave a sticky resin like liquid behind which in the wrong place can pose a problem, thanks for the very nice clear pictures!
