Using the Seal Mate (the Seal Doctor is better) always stops my leaks........ for a few months.

There's a quart of oil in each of those forks...unless you, your bike, your garage, the parking lot, and random bystanders are covered with oil...there's still a bunch in there Smiley


Mine tend to last 50,000 miles...but that's sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy...as when they start leaking, I say, "Dammit, you're gonna last 50,000 miles!" and I don't "get around" to changing them sooner Smiley

Mine have leaked once and only once so far.
I made my own sealmate and that did the trick.
Then I ordered the real sealmate, 3 of them and gave two away.
I figured I buy them cause the inventors idea was simple and it worked slick as could be.  cooldude

+1 Seal Doctor good. 

If they're shot, bring new seals to Inzane and have BigBF slap 'em on.  He can remove that fairing easily and his rates are very reasonable.
