Failed the blue slip ... leaking fork seal... slightly pitted sliders
Question:
Seals are too hard to allow one of those thin little plastic cleaners.
Could increase the thickness of the oil from 5W to ... well what do you recommend?
While I've got the front end off...
Anyone recommend a specific progressive fork spring that is not too exxy?
Wheel bearings and steering bearings to be replaced. I'm assuming motobins or motoworks.
Fork gaiters / rubber covers - any recommendations?
Just need to get it on the road. My mate's whining like a stuck pig - he sent his 2001 Ducati off to the shop and got worked for $900.

Question:
- Anyone got some decent forks to sell?
- Or should I just replace the seals with new and get it through rego and tend to it later...
- Or take it to another place and hope they miss it (I can wipe it down in the car park).
