Well the new fork seals have made no difference. In fact it seems to be leaking more oil now. I'll have to bite the bullet and have the legs hardchromed. I'm going to blame that swarm of grasshoppers I ran into just before they started to leak. Whatever they have inside them must be corrosive plus the fact that Honda must have waved the forks past the chrome bath as the coating is ultra thin as evidenced by the small amount of rust spots appearing between the upper and lower triple clamps. My Z1 Kawasaki has 40 year old forks on it and I have just replaced the seals as a precaution after 65000 miles......no leaks.
Also found that one of my horns stopped working at about the same time. Dang grasshoppers. Even my jacket was plastered with yellow crap from them.
