And I think I see why.... That little sharp gouge just to the left of the flash reflection (about 7 o clock). Its already eaten two seals.
Ya think I could sand / buff that out ?

Hi,
You might have to fill it with something before you sand/buff it smooth. JB weld? A friend of mine did that to his Goldwing forks to get rid of the pitting. It worked fine.
Thank you for your indulgence,

I would use a flat, fine, single cut file. Ray.Comment

Do as Ray said and try some Leak Proof Pro-Moly seals. They float more and I've had good luck with them.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

File is too coarse, I'd use a fine grade whetstone of some sort. Don't remove very much material, just smooth over the corners of the chip. Oh, and start looking for a new set of tubes.Ed

F !! Its my fault. I tried digging a seal out without disassembling the fork. All Balls dont list the Moly/Silicon seals for my bike. I got some S seals at the dealer. Guess Ill give it a shot. Thanks......Originally posted by Nessism View Post82 1100 EZ (red)

Like Ray says, use a file (very fine). Finish off with some wet and dry (it'll take a lot of rubbing). You can fill with JB Weld or Liquid Steel - both work well but you must degrease like you've never degreased before!79 GS1000S

I use a large file with #220 emery taped to the face of the file and a bit of oil. All's you want to do is remove the raised rust pit, so the seal won't develop a nick.
BTW, I also religiously coat my fork shafts with some grease over the winter months to prevent rusting...Last edited by Guest; 05-08-2010, 10:04 AM.Comment
