Default Suspension + colour Q's

Just a few questions to save many different threads, any help apreciated!!

1. Does anyone know what is the closest colour match for the swing arm on the curvys, my torque arm is rusted to poo and i need to sort it!!

2. The dust seals are all haggard on the forks, no oil is coming through though so does that mean i can get away with just replacing the dust seals?? Also am i right in thinking that when i take the fork legs out from the yokes i can replace them then or do i have to strip them fully??

3. When replacing the springs i dont need to do anything else apart form drain and fill with new springs/fluid right??

Cheers,
Ash.

Yeah just dust seals will be fine, if there's no fluid loss.

No need to strip the forks, you can just remove old and replace, you will need the forks out of the bike.

To do springs and oil... Remove forks, undo fork tops, drop springs + oil out. Replace with fresh oil, drop in new springs.
