Im ordering the seals and dust boots for my forks(92 RU) to send out to Nate for powder and rebuild, I also want to do my bushings that if they are worn can kill the seals in a few months.
Anyone know which ones i need, I was looking on cycleparts warehouse and bikebandit but theyre are multiple "metal slides" just not sure which ones to get...
Cheers

Try this site for getting part numbers. They're based in Holland I think, and their prices are, well, pricey. Its got all the year models

sorry i brough out the book and everyting and cant realy give you an answer. looks like in the haynes you have two diff items called bushings in you forks. slide and guide bushings it says. if i were a betting man, which im not, id say slide bushings because they are closer to the seals. just a guess

I would say its the lower slide that would do the seals in more. Any signs of scoring on either would also not help.
