Fork seals

(1/3) > >>

DomP:
I'm soon going to be giving my 550f forks a total overhaul, I'm intending losing the gaiters for non f1 seals and dust caps and have looked at pyramid parts and All Balls, are they near the same product or is one better than the other?  I've read some have improved oil seals.

I'd like to fit emulators having used them in my sv650 in the past, anyone tried them on a 550?

DomP:
It looks like pyramid do two oil seal depths 12 and 14mm.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
On the 500 I fitted the deeper seals from pyramid, Ken advised me what dust seals fitted as I do not like the gaiters either.

ST1100:
Chances of adding a dust seal on top?

Yeah I'm not a fan of gaiters either purely from an aesthetic point of view.  I presume any 550 dust seal fits as the fork leg must be the same part on both bikes.
