    Lots of folks here like the Leak Proof Pro-Moly seals. My only experience is that I installed them last summer and they have been leaking. I was very careful and I was pretty certain at the time there were no abrasions on the fork leg. Who knows for sure what went wrong. All I know is I gotta take them apart again and start over.

    Good luck!

      I have used OEM Suzi and some aftermarket seals when I couldn't get genuine, both did the job but the OEM seals have always lasted longer. To answer your question: my pick is the OEM seals, cheers.

        I installed new OEM seals and had one start leaking within 1,500 miles, installed leak-proof and no more leak! I probably screwed something up installing the OEM but the leak-proof were also easier to install.
