    GS 1150 Suspension fork tubes

    Went for a ride and a little rough roads and blew a seal on my suspension stanchions. Has any one changed these before?

    I changed mine on the Dero last year, at first I was very dubious about it but had no problems apart from driving in the new seals,
    it was suggested I used the old seals as a drift but I still found it hard, in the end I used a section of alloy tubing that I could whack with the old seals protecting the new

    it was all fairly well described in the works manual and I followed the pictures
    If you haven't got a manual get one try this link
