For anyone that has USED THIS BRAND SPECIFICALLY. I could use some helpful advice: I am unsure about the installation of these ON A 85-86 250R & also not sure if the installation is the same or different vs. OEM type seals? The instructions are non specific & confusing to me. SOooo- Do these seals go in before the tubes are inserted to lower leg? Or do they slide on after the tubes inserted to lower leg (over the top bushing)? It shows both types of installation-(non -specific). Included were 2 metal washers & not sure if they replace the OEM ones that are under the stock seals or are they added to the top of the seal? Some use them above the seal it states -but it needs .5-2mm clearance between it & the snap ring. "Not used on some models". :wondering-dont know if they're needed on this application?
I havent disassembled it yet & have never done shock seals at all before but also not sure if THESE are done the same as the OEM type. I do have a manual & seen some non-specific videos but still unsure about these seals. I regret getting these vs OEM already....I know some have not had luck with them but I'll find out my fate I guess...Anyone????

I have a set that will get thrown away. Numerous people had issues with them.

OEM and make sure the 2 bushings aren't worn out or the damping rod ring (white split ring), it's so cheap, just replace it........
