fork seal job,plus?

[Guest]

I'm diving in on my leaking fork seals on my 83 gs 1100e. Got the dust boots and the oil seals in my shopping cart. this would be a first for me and anyone knows of any extra things that may be required just jump in with your input. I am also looking for a steel brake line kit ( flexible) .

ermmmmmm........FORK OIL.

I'm going to have another try at rebuilding my forks tomorrow. One extra thing I bought besides the oil seals and dust seals was new o-rings for the end caps. I'm sure the existing ones are probably fine, but they're only a couple bucks extra and I'm learning to question every piece of rubber on this bike.

And yes, fork oil. The local powersports dealer charged me $15 for a liter, but I wasn't able to find anything much cheaper online once shipping was figured in. A day later, I did discover the part number for genuine Suzuki 15wt fork oil (16oz): 99950-06080. Punching this into any of the OEM fiche sites shows the price at under $4, so the big question is whether they'll make you pay extra in shipping for it. (Or rather, them, since you'll need two to do both forks, I believe?)
