Hey guys, I have a set of fork lowers that will not hold back oil, even with new fork seals. Apparently when the last guy changed the seals, they just pried against the weak aluminum cracking them / changed the shape of the cup that holds the seal.
My bike is a 1975 and I have a local junk yard that has a pair of forks off a '77. Does anybody know if I can do a direct swap of the fork lowers? Are the tubes the same from '75 to '77? My main concern is the location of the brake brackets etc.
While we're on the topic, how do you guys get stubborn stuck fork seals out? What techniques etc have you had success with?
