Long shot I know, but anybody have a set of Hornet 900 fork seals in Auckland? Yes I will try Honda dealers in the morning but I thought I would ask just in case.

Track day Saturday so of course I have a fork seal fail on Thursday.:facepalm:

Not me, but I'd expect Botany may have them.

Hope so. They are my first port of call. Annoying as I have gold valves on the way for them so will have to do it again in a few weeks.

They wont be specific to the Hornet, avoid 'Allballs' ones as they're shit quality.

Best ones tend to be Suzuki OEM, so have a parts person cross reference and get them from Suzuki. Unless you shell out a bit more and get them from your friendly Ohlins distributor. Dunno what brand they use, but they're good.

Ive been told OEM ones are SKF or the likes. Good tip on the suzuki idea.

I have no clue when I last needed fork seals, pretty sure it's a long time, if ever... :innocent:

Its very easy to do. Im a bit crook so will do it a bit later on but 40 min job once the fork leg is out at worst. I have all the tools so not having to fudge anything.
