2007 Tiger 1050 fork seals

concours · Apr 17, 2023

"Upside down" (I think they are Showa) forks, got one pissing.
My son paid a shop to do his Speed Triple, they charged him $400 for the job. I'm too cheap.

Has anyone used seals OTHER than OEM? S3, Sprint, etc.
I have had great results with the OEM, 15 years of mad wheelies, not always the most perfect landings.

Did copious amounts of swearing carry you through the tedious parts?
