Replaced Fork Seals - Surprise

[Virginia Rocket]

Replaced the fork seals today, all went according to directions found here on the R3 forum, thanks for the instructions guys. Replaced the springs with Progressives that I got off of eBay for $70. My big surprise was that on one of the seals, there were no springs and on the other one, just one spring. No wonder they were leaking. This is why I prefer to do my own maintenance, I check these things and make sure it is right. Will put them back on the bike tomorrow and first ride with the new springs. Hoping for a nicer ride.

I just did mine a few weeks ago. My left seal fell apart in my hands. Crazy.

Maybe. Plus the poor lady has been shipped a lot. From Colorado to Germany to Hawaii. Rode pretty hard in Germany, and the roads suck in Hawaii.
