i forgot o also ask about cush rubbers, it is as simple as removing the rear wheel putting them in and then putting the wheel back?

mmm Fork oil I can understand your local auto shop not keeping it.... even if they did it would probably be lolly water anywayrh1an5 wrote:hey guys i found some seals new on ebay for about 20 bucks, bargain . anywas just wondering how hard it is to fit them at home? what type of oil to use etc(would you believe my local auto shop does not sell bike oil!).cheers
As for the $20 seals remember you get what you pay for
Have you checked the fork legs for pitting or excessive wear? if you have any sort of imperfection on the fork leg like rust etc dont bother with the seals cause they will fail.As for type of oil, probably a 20w as a starting point & the rear cushes would be as you have described
