    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • 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.

Pyramid Parts fork seals

Did the seals on my 550. Ordered the parts from ebay and they shipped from the UK.

Parts arrived in about a week.

Parts included two seals, a small tube of grease and two dust boots.

Seals looked identical to the original and fit perfectly.

Dust boots were too small and did not fit right. I would recommend against using them.

Total cost was about 19.49 Pounds shipped ($30.94) which is about $14 cheaper than Bikebandit OEM for just the seals.

I also ordered front wheel bearings from the USA website at the same time but these haven't arrived after two weeks. Not sure what's going on there.

Update: bearings arrived. Took about 2 weeks probably because they shipped from NZ. Bearings came in sealed bags marked "Koyo" and included a small tube of bearing grease. I also sent e-mail about the dust boots and they responded asking for more info. I think I'll take a couple of pics and send them.

If I recall,my Pyramid bearings came from Australia.Could be wrong(getting older):D
 
I bought a set to replace the 30 year old OE ones on my bike.

They didn't last more than a few thousand miles before one started seeping and the other pretty much just gave up.

I've cleaned them a couple times and topped up the fork oil but still have the same issues within 1000 miles.

I would not purchase them again, OEM only.
