I picked up some new seals today but found that to install them easily you need a special tool. The problem is that the lower fork leg has to be attached to the fork tube before the seals are pressed in. there is a guide bushing and a back up ring under the seal and it really hard to get them back into the lower leg. They have to be pressed in dead straight of they will not seat correctly. I am going to make up something tomorrow as the bike is currently sitting on a jack with no front wheel so no going to bike shop. If you get a chance I suggest dropping the fork legs down through the lower tree and check there is no corrosion on the chrome. when I removed mine there is a patch where water/rust from the lower tree has eaten the chrome plating away. Spray lots of water dispersent in this spot as it seems to get rusty.

Spray a little of [url=http://www.acf-50.co.uk/motorcycle.htm]this stuff in that area. Stops it dead.
