rant over.

It does tick you off some of the prices eh. I wanted to replace my anti dive o rings coz they were off the forks. Not leaking, but thought i might as well as they were off. Not at £5 each!!! £20

So.... Do people get the oem seals and rest safe in the knowledge that they'll last longer and are better quality or simply buy cheaply ones and change them more often? No-one have any thoughts please?

Pyramid mate. Never had a problem. My mate has been round today to have the forks on his H***a 600 Hor**T sorted. We changed the seals 2 yrs and 15k miles ago. They weren't leaking but the oil was knackered as were the bushes so we did the lot as a matter of course.
OE by all means on certain things but fork seals? No not for me.
Hope this helps.

Cheers Chris.... Appreciate the info. That's what I kinda was thinking myself... And at the cost of oem!, that is ridiculous how much they cost.

Will hunt down some pyramid bits I think...

The last ones I've bought (37 and 41) were Kawasaki ones as they are the same sizes, but a couple of quid cheaper.

I think the 35mm ones were genuine Suzuki though...

I've a brand new set of fork seals 35x48x11. They've been lurking in the cupboard a while. If you want them you can have them for postage
