$42.98 per side including seal/dustcover set from metric parts. it took 4 days to get brake seals for my drifter a couple of weeks ago.

I bought two sets of sliders, seals, dust covers and seem to remember that the price was around 105 bucks when ordered from hdlparts.com, much more expensive if I order from the local outfit. I did find a set of seals and dust covers from partzilla.com for 37.?? more than 20 bucks less than local Honda shop.

Regardless of where the parts are sought,

OEM Honda parts are the smart move.

I just received my fork parts from Hondadirectline of Shadyside OH. Slider bushings, oil seals and dust seals and 4 VTX shock bushings came to $82 and shipping was free.

I was NOT terribly thrilled with taking 11 days to get them from OH to IL however.
