Default fork seals

did hd have a bad run of fork seals or what i have heard of a lot of people leaking especially on the new models i powder coated my lowers this winter my left seal was leaking right off the bat when i took it apart to change it i compared the old w/new i could see the old one looked defective like the middle lip was not cut right (that was my fault for not inspecting the new one) anyways my right ones leaking now after 1800 miles left one still good and yes i installed them right per what i learned on the forum just wondering if anyone else has had this problem i know it dont take that long to fix just dont feel like fking w/it

My right one is starting to leak. I think. Im not sure but there is some residue sometimes. I feel new seals will be in order in the future

Mine always left a residue and since it was new I brought it in for warranty. They told me that it was normal and to just keep an eye on it. It has never actually dripped. Now that I've had the bike a year, I brought it back in told them...ok this is not normal, show me any of your used dyna's doing that. I have also bottomed out my forks for the first time recently. They agreed to fix it...now I just have to get it in.
