Hey Ollie
If you are doing your fork seals yourself I have turned up a tool to fit the bushes and new seals. I have also made an oil level adjusting bottle to get the correct level.
Of course the seal fitting tool would only work if you have 48mm forks?? You are welcome to borrow them any time
Cheers mate:cheer:

Thanks Murph, I have the height adjusting tool already, and will make up a fork seal driver tomorrow.

cheers Ollie

Are these tools absolutely necessary to replace your fork seals? I had my forks rebuilt and they were pissing out after one ride so I was going to redo the seals myself but don’t have the tools.
