My forks are leaking bad, I looked up seals for a 85 and there are many sizes to choose from. Which is correct? I asked in a shop for a rough price to change them and they said $300 plus parts (there dreamin) I've never done this myself but I like a good challenge. I drained the oil yesterday and replaced it with new oil. What came out was utter sump oil (black as the ace of spades) big difference with new oil but they leaked oil bad so I can't put this off any longer. So guys what seals will fit? The top dust seal seems good or would it just be better to change both at once.
Thanks
