Chaharly Posted March 14, 2015 Share #51 Posted March 14, 2015 Upper Bushing = Metal, Slide 1 Lower Bushing = Piston, front fork These are what I ordered, but I may be confused about the "piston" one. I doubt it though. Do I need 1 of each or two of each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dna9656 Posted March 15, 2015 Share #53 Posted March 15, 2015 Wow what a thread! A long time ago I had a Yamaha 750 Special (triple) Street bike. Some liked it, some didn't. Anyway it had a leaky folk seal. It had those boots over the seals too. Well I ordered a set of fork seals from Dennis Kirk. I put them on with some tranny fluid as lube. One seal still weeped a little....o at work we had a hydrological shop and in their consumables they had some seal back ups; (name is prob wrong) they were made of Teflon, it was three or four turns long, if you stretched it out it looked like a spring but would collapse like a slinky toy. I wrapped this around the fork tube under the boot and above the seal and my problem went away. I am inclined to agree with Skydoc, if there's no nicks on the fork tube those bushings could be the issue and probably are. If it isn't this I know that hydraulic actuators can get re-chromed and repaired, I had a guy that sandblasted the actuators on a Mobilizer in the military, we send them down town for a re-chrome and polish, worked like a champ when we god them back.....forks are a lot like actuators....
