Curvy fork seal size?

[andrewsmith]

I'm having a bit of an issue getting hold of front fork seals.

I've been sent two completely different sets of seals from wemoto and i'm not to sure either is the right one.

The two I've been sent are

Vesrah AR 4101, which definately not them as they are noticeably smaller than the fork santions

and

Vesrah AR 4104

What I wanting to know would either of these seal sets work?

Thanks in advance

Andy

Time for a wee bit more Info as I'm trying work it out now

The seals i was sent initially are intended for the 600 bandits, which are RWU 41mm dia (same as a the Curvies).
So 'in theory' they should work? Correct me if I'm wrong Please

41x53x8/9/10.5.

Edit - same as an early 600 Bandit.

mate i had an issue wiith wemoto, two companies use the same model numbers lol, but they are different sizes.

Ill check my emails brb

Just looked in my catalogue - Vesrah AR-4104 = OE 51153-27C20, 51153-05A00 and 51153-14F00 which are listed as by Suzuki as the three part numbers used for Curvy seals, presumably due to differing stock supplies.

If you look closely at the upper face of the seal it will often be marked, usually in very tiny writing, with the seal dimensions.

I've had the same issue with the seals with wemoto as you've described.
I'm going to take the punt with the original seals I bought.

Cheers for the help
