Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Fork seals leaking

Probably just have a little piece of dirt or grit caught between the seal and tube. I replaced my seals last month and it wasn't that difficult a process. If you have someone to help you then you can do it in a leisurely two hours for both seals and cleaning everything up nice. On Tue, Sep 8, 202

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 incl

[Nighthawk Lovers] Fork seals

Aww man. I was trying to reply to someone and I accidentally erased it. The question was : Did I measure the seals for difference? Answer: I didn't have to. The difference is visible enough. I used a company called All Balls. They also make bearings. I did notice that those seals "fit" a wide n

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Fork seals

I'm tempted to make a joke about a "bucket o'fish" but that wouldn't be productive ;) Instead I'll let someone who's done that job already answer it. I will go ahead and ask "what kind of nighthawk do you have" as that makes a little bit of difference. There are several threads in the archives conc

Yes, next season I'm pulling the tubes apart to replace the seals. Does anyone know of a good write-up for our bikes? I've heard on some bikes you need to use a goofy tool or long woden dowel rod to slide down inside the tube to keep the back of a nut from turning... might not have been for our bik
