Ken or Bryan do you have the part number for the 500T top fork dust seals please?

Iseem unable to find a part number as not sure what year tyhey werte built either. I found CX 500 but they are probably the wrong size.

Use the ones off the 550F2 as you know they'll fit.

I bought new ones for mine, the old ones are still good enough to use, you want them if I can find them and haven't thrown them away.

Kind offer Ken but oem ones are inexpensive so I'll probably fit those if I decide against fork gaiters  - still uncertain as to which way to go.

I'm costing up the alternatives - might be worth trying them first for the sake of postage cost for your old ones if you can find them?
