Fork seal leaking?

[piratediverjefff]

Mine are leaking(left is the worst)now,started around 10,000 miles and now at 11,300 is pretty bad.Just tried a Seal Mate and fluid practically poured out when I shoved the curved tip up there so so much for that.Seems like they should last longer than that.Don't want to fight with it myself so looks like off to a shop and $250,crap!

You can do a seal change without removing the springs!
It's easy!
And around $80 for oem seals and whatever oil you chose(gotta get 2 qts, as they'll both hold just over one).
$170 saved goes a long way for a couple hours work.

Figured I would see you posting in this thread ~ did you get in touch with the shop to repair your seals . . .

Nope,they're only open from 10:00-2:00 on Sat./closed Sun. so will call them in the morning and see if I can get it in this coming Fri. or Sat.All I need is to get fork oil on my pads and try a hard stop.

Old guy like you, I didn't think you went fast enough to hard stop.

 

[piratediverjefff]

That's good but I like the one where he busts the Harleys a$$ better.

I was geared to the hilt that day(and that was before the tune and 10 more hp).
