83 550 E Fork seal cover question

[Anonymous]

I recently got my fork seals done at a local shop for free, but theres a small problem with my forks still. Its not like I can take the bike back and bi-tch at them cause the work was free. The Fork seal cover on my left fork doesnt stay in place. When the fork compresses and rises back up again the cover stays with the fork. I was wondering if I could use some kind of rubber cement or epoxy. Whats the best solution?

Thanks

Fork seal cover question

Try clear instant gasket.Holds well enough but not permanently so you can remove the cover if need be.

try using a plastic wire tie (or zip tie if you prefer) around the fatter part of the cover, they come in many colors for your flavor. you can get them at Lowes, Home Depot, Ace hrdware, and Walmart.

Thanks for the tip guys, but Im not sure the zip ties would stay the way the cover is set up. I'll give the instant gasket a shot.

Thanks again
