Fork seals - anyone used Nikone seals?
As per title , im planning to do my fork oil seals after receiving the guide from vivo. I was looking at seals available and spotted Nikone quite cheaply priced, has anyone ever used them and how did they find them?
thanks in advance

Nikone are OE spec for Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda 

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Mine only lasted me 500 miles on slightly pitted forks, i know they need re-chroming but didnt think they would go that soon.

Re: Fork seals - anyone used Nikone seals?
Thanks for the replies lads, was asking as they are almost half the cost of others.. Dont fancy having to strip and rebuild the forks after just a few miles tho.. If i do go for them ill have to make sure the fork stanchions are as smooth as possible first, out with the wet and dry !!
