Hey guys,
What seals are you guys running. I always run skf in my bikes but I don’t think they make them.

This is for seals and dust wipers

Oem is 88 bucks
Race tech is 90 bucks
Pivot works is 38 bucks

I have not heard the best about pivot works but does anybody run them?

Maybe I’ll just go for race tech or something I don’t know.

Unless you are financially able to spend the big bucks for OEM, I would just get a PivotWorks kit with seals and bushings. No matter which way you go, don't do just seals. Those bushings are probably original and 21 years old.

A lot of ppl seem to have pivot works leak after a ride or two. I guess I could buy the whole pivot works kit then if they leaked I could buy oem seals and swap.

I used to always recommend OEM, but man they are HIGH now.
