    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

78 GS550 Fork oil and dust seal

Just got my 1978 GS550. Trying to find a replacement for my oil seals as well as replacing the dust covers at the same time. Anyone out there have suggestions on parts for this? I seem to be finding lots of oil seals, but no dust covers anywhere. I wanted to replace them both while the fork is apart. Any companies that sell both together, or anywhere that I could order both from? What size seals and covers do I need? I find it hard to trust Ebay when they say it will fit...
Thanks for the help.
 
Also looking for some fork gators to put on the bike at the same time. If there is a place that sells all of these items, LMK.
Thanks
 
not sure about gaiters

not sure about gaiters

Z1 should have the seals and dust boots. Not sure about the gaiters.
 
I see that Z1 does have what I am looking for. Anywhere I could look to see what size I need? Or anyone know what size I need?
 
If you have gaiters you really don't need or can even use dust seals as the gaiters will be clamped on to where the dust seal sits.
 
You can order seals and dust guards from anyplace that Suzuki OEM parts are sold (dealership source), including literally dozens of places that have an internet presence. Gaiters are more difficult, since those are aftermarket only. You need to measure the outside diameter of your fork leg and then go search for something suitable.

Good luck
