I'd make sure the sliders were shiny clean and see before I dropped the money for seals.

Sometimes...a piece of dirt can get between the slider and seal lip and can be removed by pulling the dust seal down and sliding a business card in there and dislodging it.

I'm cheap. :P
Exposed fork legs look shiny as new.... and since both sides are leaking, I'm thinking more deterioration from lack of use than dirt trapped between seals in both legs.   But you're right, it is worth seeing if the seals recover with use.

Drink your coffee for a minute.

Things will become clearer.

Almost.  Just need to get one in the garage that is in my name so I can ride again and post about tanks and fuel lines and forks and....stuff.

Which means I need to get productive!


Enjoy the day!   [thumbsup]

You and me both. At one time I figured out that if I quit drinking coffee and beer I could afford another bike.

We all know how that worked out  [laugh]
