Aftermarket Fork Oil Seals
« on: 11 August 2014, 10:17:11 pm »
Anyone had any luck with pattern fork oil seals? Any equal to (or better) then OEM?

Get the best you can, as in OEM.
Not worth the grief if it foc's up.  ;)

Of course, but as the OEM seals are known to fail I was curious if anyone had found seals that actually hold up better

All seals will fail eventually. OEM seals are the best quality you can get imo. You're taking a risk with pattern seals because you can't guarantee the quality of the material or the fit.
