OK I finally completed my chrome lower fork swap,and Im very happy with the results. I first torqued down my axle and I then, applied my front braked, and I cycled the forks up and down at least 50 times to level them out before torqueing the pinch bolts. Its been too cold and there is snow here so I cant ride the bike, how long does it usually take for a leak in the fork seals to develop if its gonna happen? So far ive noticed no leaks, I have a bad habit of second guessing my work I just hate to tear the whole front end off again!

 

All you can do is button up and ride it. I don't think you'd see a leak until you get a few miles on it. Have faith!!

 

As long as you used a new seal, I really can't see any reason why it would leak.
