I know this is a common practice to rebrand another company's item and slap your sticker on it but it always surprises me. I picked up fork seals last year for my 1098 from racetech for around $30 shipped and this year one of the seals started leaking due to a small nick in the forks. So being my cheap self I got a set of parts unlimited seals for $16 shipped, $8 for just the seals, from Dennis Kirk. When I pulled the racetech seals it turns out they are the SAME seals as the parts unlimited seals.......save yourself the cash get some PU seals when your changing yours. Just a PSA for all the Ducati riders trying to save a buck!
I went to the Honda dealer and bought some Showa seals from them. A little different design on the top dust wiper. No issues. About half price of the Ducati seals for my--Showa forks.

Yup. You'll see in that thread I bought carb diaphragms for a Suzuki DR650 for $25 each for my Monster 750!
