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.

Yeah, can't really tell from the picture either. Fork seal? Brake line?
Sorry for the crappy pic. Fork oil that leaked down the fork. The dark and shiny area on the back side of the fork and onto the caliper mounting lugs. Luckily it didnt make it to the brake pads / rotor.
Disregard the rag on the fork leg.....
To catch the fork oil?
Heck, if you're going to jury rig something, do it right - a black rag! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
Thats funny..... I looked for a black rag......yes to catch oil until I get seals...
.....thats been there since I lowsided it about 10 or so years ago. That pic was my riding game backup...Wildflowers.
Are those flowers growing wild? The Garden State,................... It's more than just a license plate or film? I have the yellow flowers in my front yard, but nothing like that!
P.S. Nice bike!
These were strategically planted at some point, but return yearly. I generally dont bother to defend NJ, but contrary to popular belief, there are some picturesque areas in the state.
Thanks for the bike comment....It photographs well. Close up is another story.

Ive been especially enjoying my bike this year. Recent work has it running better then it ever has in my 15 years of ownership. Then among all the bliss I find this.
Did you try the feeler gauge trick?
Feeler gauge trick? Please explain....
Jedz has the latest tag....wildflowers was an unused backup tag pic I took.

nthego: This is my new bike and I just got it running tonight and its great! Reminds me of Hi school.
Probably there is a grain of sand or a bug's shell or microscopic twig or hair or something caught in the seal making it leak. Soon enough it will damage the seal, but if you get the offending particle out before then it may quit leaking. Push a feeler gauge between the seal and the fork tube, turn it at an angle and run it around the seal. Angle it so it pushes anything up and out as you move it around the seal. We used to use film back when cameras had film, a piece of a milk carton can be used, or they even make a special tool for this, but the feeler gauge works well. Start with a very thin one, once it's in put a little thicker one in behind it, pull the thin one out and around you go.
If your seals are old, cracked and dry rotted it won't work, but if not it's worth a try. I'm at about a 50% fix rate with it.
