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.

Jezz mate, did you kick a Chinaman or something.....go see Randy and grab a couple from him - they are known good OEM seals, the eBAy offerings my not be so good.

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

I will be picking some up from Randy on Monday and hopefully be back on the road on Tuesday. I didn't even know there was a shop this close till yesterday my first bike and I had to take apart the left side a couple of time because i missed a part  :dash2:

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