OEM Fork seals - where from? - SV650.org

CodeJACK · 07-08-10, 10:48 AM

Hi folks,

Is there anywhere on-line and in Europe where I can but OEM Fork seals for my K3?

The dust seals are flaking on the outside and I'm fitting new springs so I figure ill take the time to do both dust and oil seals.

Dealer here in Ireland wants €30 each for the 4 seals!

Been searching and reading some horror stories of after-market seals but if there is a reliable brand out there, please let me know.

Cheers,

Rob.
