85 FJ 1100 front fork maint

[Jpn]

Never had the front forks apart on my steed, plan to replace the springs and install the gold fork valve emulators this winter. Looking at the exploded view diagram to determine what parts I will need is confusing. Any suggestions as to which seals need to be replaced for the described work. Yes I could take them apart and figure it out, trying to save some time though and have parts on hand. Any help would be appreciated.

Get the bug shield option...then get one of these:

Your front fender tabs will thank you.
