Are you sure you got the seals in up the right way and didn't overfill the forks? You mean the rust and pitting is in the part of the forks that goi into the seals? If so, that would explain the leaking, if not take some old 35 mm film, cut it so that it is hooked on one end, slide it down between the seal and the fork tube and run it around the tube to clean out any particles of dust, dirt or whatever. Picture what you're trying to accomplish and you'll be able to figure out how to do it. They make a simple plastic 'seal mate' to do just that. Forget the air pressure, just go with ambient (no pressure).

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.
