Default Fork Seals.........

I replaced my fork seals beginning of last summer and everything was great... put about 2000 miles on the bike... no leaks.

Bike sat on a lift all winter during the build... forks were not touched... My first ride this year and theyre both leaking pretty bad....

Any thoughts as to why the OEM seals only lasted one season?



See the pretty puddles!.....
