cheers deedee owe you a virtual pint,.your a star
on a budget the slug.

[jup]

Get the Honda replacement seals. Cheaper one tend to wear out quicker or don't sit as snug.
I find the extra few quid is worth it when you don't replace them as often.

[slug]

hi jup good advice have brought seals already so
stuck with them some make called extreme. forks
leaks seem to be a weak point on these bikes.
cheeers the slug.

[pikey]

Nope, they`re not a weak point at all, mine`s got 36,000 on the clock and they`re still the originals.
The weakness is owners not cleaning the crud and acidic fly `juices` off the sliders leading to premature failure!

[slug]

good point pikey will remember to
clean forks after each ride.
cheers the slug ;D

Fit some gaiters if you`re the cannae be arsed type.
