Gen 1 Showa Fork Seal Issues

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, replacing bushes and seals in Showa forks, have the tool etc to seat both bush and the seal, problem is I cannot get the seal to go down far enough to get the retaining clip in. The parts are from "Pyramid Parts" and just wondering if anybody else has probs with them, old seals seem to fit fine.
Many thanks in advance

	Have you measured the seals to check dimensions?

	All, checked the dimensions and all seem to be ok, did have issues with the bottom bush and had to send back, seems these Pyramid parts are not a good fit. New to this site so yes will support APW and order from them Cheers
