Fork seal leak
I generally subscribe to the "if it ain't broke don't fix it rule", not because I don't appreciate upgrades but mostly because I'm broke and try and keep downtime to a minimum. I previously replaced my rear shocks with a set of a Progressive 440's with the HD spring and found that setting 3 suits me fine both two up/loaded and solo. The front suspension has always felt really spongey to me but serviceable.
Today I noticed that the left leg has a slight leak. It's not pouring out, but seals are in order. I figure if I have to tear it down I might as well upgrade. I don't have 600+ to throw at this (I'm sure some of those systems are nice though). What's a good cost effective route? Mono tubes, different springs perhaps? Upgraded dampeners? I'm 240lbs, wife ain't too much lighter. Lots of high speed running the Texas backroads.
Bike is a 2006 FLHT with trunk/lowers. Thanks!
