I like the ones I put in 30,000 miles ago. Don't remember much about them except they worked.

I've compared OEM and K&L seals. They look the same in design and quality. All Balls kits are used by my local shop with good results.

Before  you pay outrageous labor rates, give this a try:

sealmate.net

Two  local dealers wanted $350 and $500 to do the job.

My right fork was leaking like a sieve. Not any more. This tool solved the issue.

No affiliation. Not spam. Just satisfied customer!

There's also a tool called the Seal Doctor.  I found it at a Denver motorcycle parts store.  It snaps around the fork tube and rotates to clean the entire seal without removing the chrome shield.  It's very easy to use and fixed a leak the film trick could not.
