I'm going to replace my fork seals, but the yamaha dealership here has them at $50 for both seals. Ebay has a pack with both of them for 14.50, along with free shipping. But I don't want to put them on if they are only going to last a year. Anyone have any experience with these? (link below)

Re: are ebay fork seals any good?
I have always had good luck with the "Leak Pruf" sets...I know Dennis Kirk sell em for $35. They are 'push in' seals...no steel case. Moly lips. You get new dust wipers too

awesome, good thing i posted the question. i'll buy those.
Re: are ebay fork seals any good?
I usually get the from the stealer. Shouldn't cost any more than 20 bucks. I've heard both good and bad things about leak proof brand seals. If you can't get those then Flanders brand 38mm fork seals will work as well.

Re: are ebay fork seals any good?
well, this is Hawaii, and the dealerships overprice everything. It's 18 plus tax PER seal, then the dust caps are 15 each. I don't care about getting the dust caps, the main thing i want is the seals, i really don't have to money to replace the dust caps too. I'll look up flanders brand though, and see what good deals I can find.sweekster wrote:I usually get the from the stealer. Shouldn't cost any more than 20 bucks.
