    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I`ve changed to new oil seal on both fork, and put on new fork oil, but on my test drive today, there were coming a lot of oil up from the dust seal cover. Why ???? Could it be a little to much oil in the fork? or are there other possebilities???
Anyone that have some tips ???

How did the rest of the fork parts look, aside from the oil seals ? I spent almost 1500,- nok on parts for my forks - most of what was in there was rusted to bits.
 
The parts looks perfect for me, no scratches or other damages. It looks like it leaks less after a longer test drive.
( Have to look/test more tomorrow and see if the leak stops)
The strange thing is that it looks like it leak the same volume from each fork.

do you, by chance, install them upside down?

OK, there must have been to much oil in the forks. I`ve test the bike on a long ride today, and after a few kilometers the leak stopped and are now excelent. Thank you for your support.

I've read that if you don't have the same exact amount of oil in each fork, that you can bend your front axle. You should check them for the proper amount as recommended.
