Default servicing front forks

i'll have my front end apart to install my ricor intiminators soon...

wanted to take the opportunity to freshen up everything i can on the front end.

fork seals are on my list...but what else can be done?

theres no problem with my front end but id rather do preventive maintenance while its all apart than do necessary repairs down the road.

so, anything else i should check out/replace?

Those flush mount caps are sweet. Haven't seen those before.

They were using Gold Valve emulators, Ricor does not reccomend drilling the damper rod because they gain control of damping by using a lighter weight fork oil.
