Fork air equalizer seals

Post by bubbak »

I am rebuilding a set of forks on a 2001 and found all balls seal kit but having no luck finding the seals for the fork air equalizer. What are you guys using for these? Thanks Bob

Last time did not replace them and they leak air.So I want to replace this time around, the bike has 70K on it. Kawasaki wants $4.49 each, just want to know if there is a cheaper option out there? Thanks Bob

these are an odd size, very hard to find a hardware store replacement. i also wonder at 70k why you have not upgraded to progressive fork springs that do not require air assist? i find the OEM springs are pretty much sacked out at about 20k.

This is my brothers bike and I am trying to help him out and fix his water pump leak and his forks are leaking also. I will look into progressive springs. Where would be a good place to look for a set of springs? Money is tight for him right now and he dont have alot to put into his bike. Thanks Bob

You can go to Progressives website for the part number. After that you can shop Amazon.com, Ebay or use Google to search for the part number. In the end you will pay about $85 average. It will be the best money you can spend tho.
