I have a couple. I think fitting seals is my favourite job to do on a bike.
 
I have an adjustable one like this.

That's an odd favourite job :lol I tapped mine in using the old seal as the driver and it worked fine.

Haha. I don't know why but I enjoy doing forks. Really simple if you have the right tools.

May invest in one, which one's best? adjustable or not?

If you plan on doing lots of forks go for the adjustable one. If you want one specific for the just your fazer you'll need a 43mm one.

The link I posted was for a 48mm fork which I use on mx bikes.

The adjustable one is best though. Use it loads.

Thunder if you're ever near North Wales I'd be happy to do your seals.
