Title: front fork seals
Post by: winddancer on July 24, 2011, 12:06:08 AM
Don't you hate it when you spend your morning replacing your front fork seals only to find out that the left side seal got messed up and is leaking, then order new seals on eBay because the local shop dosen't have it only to find out you live 20 miles from RPM at 8 o'clock at night.  :shout: :shout: :dash2: :dash2: :hang1:

Yes, it might be frustrating.
That is why I buy rather well known, good quality produckt.
Difference i on prices ain't so huge, and generally it worth.

+1 on the RPM fork brace....You do know that a fork brace will help your fork seals last longer, right?  :good:
