Re: fork seal question

It's not hard at all to do them yourself. Either hang the bike from straps or use a front stand. Some bikes with inverted forks you can actually do them without taking the forks off the bike. Make sure you have something to measure your oil with, and a piece of PVC just a hair bigger than your fork diameter to use as a seal driver for the new seals.
