Fork seals

Would anybody buy these? I'm rebuilding my forks after getting them powder coated and am a bit put off by the low price. Surely they can't be any worse than the Honda ones?

errr you seem to have missed the link or details of the fork seals

Most fork seals are the same, the only difference with cheaper ones are they don't last quite as long but that is measured in years so I would'nt worry.

If it was me I'd stick with genuine Honda parts for something like fork seals even if they do cost a bit more, simply because you don't want to be doing all that work again if the cheaper ones fail with a short life span

Or you could get 'leak proof' seals with a lifetime guarantee.
I know Motohaus is a supplier, so check with your local dealer to see if they can get them. (I can if you need!)

Or as Grinner says

My local dealers are crap, i've got more chance of walking along the street and finding a pair than i have of them being able to get hold of them.
