78 GS550 Fork oil and dust seal

[Guest]

Just got my 1978 GS550. Trying to find a replacement for my oil seals as well as replacing the dust covers at the same time. Anyone out there have suggestions on parts for this? I seem to be finding lots of oil seals, but no dust covers anywhere. I wanted to replace them both while the fork is apart. Any companies that sell both together, or anywhere that I could order both from? What size seals and covers do I need? I find it hard to trust Ebay when they say it will fit...
Thanks for the help.

Also looking for some fork gators to put on the bike at the same time. If there is a place that sells all of these items, LMK.
Thanks

not sure about gaiters

Z1 should have the seals and dust boots. Not sure about the gaiters.

I see that Z1 does have what I am looking for. Anywhere I could look to see what size I need? Or anyone know what size I need?

If you have gaiters you really don't need or can even use dust seals as the gaiters will be clamped on to where the dust seal sits.

You can order seals and dust guards from anyplace that Suzuki OEM parts are sold (dealership source), including literally dozens of places that have an internet presence. Gaiters are more difficult, since those are aftermarket only. You need to measure the outside diameter of your fork leg and then go search for something suitable.

Good luck

Bike Bandit has good service, but the prices are a little high. Boulevard Suzuki is one of the forum favorites for price and service, but they are slower than Bike Bandit.
