If they aren't seated perfectly flat then they will leak. I'd try seatng them some more. I have a couple of rust spots on my GS and while it will loose air pressure, no leaks in about 2K miles. Hope that helps. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Ok so you know I rebuild a 84 CB700sc, and part of that rebuild was tracking down some forks. At the time the only set on ebay that was not bent did have some rust and pits in the slide area. I did clean it up with some autosol and removed all trace of that compound. The seal kit I used included a K&S seal and a OEM Honda dust seal. Air set at 5-6psi, after about 200 miles both forks leaking very bad, pushing fluid out of them and had a good size puddle of ATF on the floor in the garage. Looking for input, should I try again with my current forks and use OEM Honda seals or should I try to find another set of forks in better shape? I personally don't think the forks tore up the seals that fast and on both sides maybe the seal is not made correctly, not sure. Is it a good idea to maybe not use any air pressure if I do rebuild the ones I currently have? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
