Any updates on fork seals?

[flynlow]

Aftermarket seals like All Balls and Race Tech seem to have had mixed reviews in the past and curious if they may have improved recently. My seals just started to show signs of failure and I'm looking at Race Tech because they have upgraded springs as well.

If the Suzuki seals are still the best choice, where is the best place to order them?

Yup, I tried a few aftermarkets and had nothing but bad luck.

From my findings, and your input, OE still prevails. I was hoping to get all things needed through one source and with the springs being from Race Tech I had hoped to use their seals and covers as well.

Just checked them. Been awhile since posts were made in regards to them. They seem to have used Race Tech products in their fork rebuilds.

Wow.. That's pretty interesting. I may have to invest in some of those. Thanks for posting!

I've no intentions of tackling this job myself so I found a local indy shop that'll do them for half of what the 'stealer' wants. Since I found a reasonable price to have them rebuilt I figure I may as well replace the 8 yo springs with firmer Race Techs and opt for their seals as well, but there seems to be mixed reviews on them. Not sure if it was because of installation error or an inferior product compared to OE.
