Run mine standard on the kr, would have thought you'd be ok with that for a start in the project

perfect. have found that ive bolloxed the new seals ep and one side is leaking!!! will put tape around the edge near the top this time as i beleive this sharp edge has done the damage. good job i have spare set and didnt wait till the night before pb trackday to fill em up with oil!! ah well, cant you tell its been a long time since i replaced fork seals? thanks for that anyway. =D> will try again saturday.

I find the old plastic bag technique works every time, place a plastic bag over the open end of the fork leg and pull it tight, oil the inside of the seal, it should them fly over the undercut in the fork leg without tearing the seal.
