Default Leaky Fork seals & Temporary Fix

Leaky fork seals??? On a road trip and your fork seals stop sealing? Got to get home but the fork or forks will run dry? What to do? Here is an old dirt bike trick that will work fine as a temporary fix for your Harley. Put a half ounce of common rubbing alcohol or even brale fluid will work too, available at any variety or drug store, into the fork tube. This will cause the seals to swell and start working properly again. Change the seal when you get home then .
