Was just wondering if any of you mechanics had any experience with the brand name "leak proof fork seals" often found in aftermarket sales catologs. Are they any better than stock.? I was interested in these because they come as a kit with the wipers and seals in one package. Has anyone had experience with theses seals? Are these seals durable?

I put a set on my '90 750 last spring and havent had a lick o troubles. I keep an eye on the fork tubes, and they're not bone dry above the wiper, just a light sheen sayin they aint dried out.99% of the questions asked here can be answered by a 2 minute search in the service manual. Get a service manual, USE IT.

I haven't put the "all balls" fork seals in yet but I had read reviews that they were pretty good. I bought a pair to rebuild my Kat forks but never got around to it and now that I'll be using GSXR forks I bought another kit for those. Saw the "no leak" ones on ebay one time but never used them..Good judgement comes from experience, and often experience comes from Bad Judgement :smt084

That alone was enough for me to stay with Suzuki's seals.
