Hopefully not as I hate doing things twice.
I'm rebuilding the forks with new sliders bits, but probably won't replace the dust seals for new ones. But I got a set of new versah fork seals with the forks I bought so was wondering if I should use them or use hondas OE ones?

Personally I've had bad experiences with aftermarket ones.
I figure that the biggest 'cost' in replacing fork seals is the time so I personally don't think it's worth saving a few pounds and then have to do them again a few months later.
Unlike suzuki fork seals honda ones aren't that expensive either.

As usual i'll agree!
The price difference between OE and 'OE spec' fork seals is minimal and for the time spent doing the seals you can't go far wrong with the real deal
