[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 1363393, member: 615"] Thanks for the info. After a bit more research I found some info on removing/replacing the seals without removing the inner tube. They extended the inner tube to its maximum height and then added some generic oil to fill the tube close to the top. Then, threaded the cap on and pushed the inner tube back down, reducing the volume inside the tubes. The added oil pushed the seal out as the internal volume decreased. [URL="https://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/how-to-replace-motorcycle-fork-seals"]https://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/how-to-replace-motorcycle-fork-seals[/URL] A little messy but the seal is liberated with the inner tube intact. But, new bushings are probably a good expenditure after 88K miles. [/QUOTE]
