Front fork bushes

[TURBO200R4]

IF I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE BUSHING I (SORry caps) would check other motorcycle brands with the same size forks. just a thought.

when i did my forks i filled the seal with a light weight grease i thought it might be messy but all is well and no dirt build up.

If you’ve a bit of cash to splash, the SKF seals come with an added spring on the dust seal, should help the oil seals stay healthy longer.

Thanks for the advice chaps, taking the legs to a friend who runs a small parts shop for a second opinion,the lower bush next to the oil seal seems to be a fairly common size as for the inner bush who knows , can’t get anywhere near it lol
Will give you an update when I find out some more info.

There is also an Ohlins seal that fits. Is heavier dty and cost me the same as a normal Kayaba one.

Fitted new bottom bushes today and reassembled the fork legs , size of bush is 43 x 12 x 2.5 ,the old bushes looked pretty worn so hoping these will eliminate some of the play, shame the inners aren’t easily accessible.

As per title...............was pleased with myself after knocking up a free fork compressor tool from a split shaft collar and a couple of 8mm Allen bolts ,got the forks apart only 500 ml of oil in each so probably why they’re so soft.
Now the real issue, without the seals in place and just placing the upper and lower legs together there appears to be some play between the two,looking at the parts list Triumph only seem to list a complete leg assembly, can anyone confirm this is the case and if so is it possible to have bushes made?

In regards to the "disposable" un-bushed fork legs and the fact that my 05 R3 fork seals are blown, I'm considering going to a rebuildable up right set of forks. Fork travel would increase and maybe be more resistant to occasional wheeleys. I have no respect for disposable junk! or builders of such.
