"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.
 
I think I used all balls brand seals last yr in monster S2r ( Showa) , no issues yet … the usd forks not as much fun to work as the right side up style 😉

Did copious amounts of swearing carry you through the tedious parts? 🤬
 
At my advanced age anything a bit different results in some colourful cursing …🧐

Seals are done. Back to business as usual.
That Tiger 1050 (now called Sport) makes me smile every time I ride it.
