Finished completely redoing my '86 350X and took it out for the first time to Buscoe Beach N.C. this weekend... Loading up to come home I noticed my freshly rebuilt shocks were leaking out the boots. I'm alittle heavy so when I rebuilt the shocks I used 20 wt. fork oil instead of ATF the book says to use and no air pressure. The springs measured out good... I may have to got to some after market springs. Anyway, I was wondering if OEM or what after market GOOD fork seal you guys have used. I must say... I haven't rode in a very long time but this 350X is a BAD *ss ride! I loved it! It is a roostn wheelie MONSTER!

OEM on the fork seals is a must .

I just posted some pics in my album of bike before the build...A real piece of junk... and after the rebuild. I can't figure how to get them here to the reply.

I'm glad you asked this, I'm rebuilding my bike and was about to order some off of Ebay. I'm going to find some OEM though. Thanks again!
