If only the only the guy had said: Wait there's more, and then offered me some freebies for my friends, that might have sealed the deal.

This reminds me - I need to look for some gaiters for my CBR.
Remember those gaiters made out of cordura and velcro?

I question his statement about finding most seals not actually needing to be replaced in reference to street bikes, but I can certainly see how it might be effective for a bike like we are shown in the video.
They claim to have fixed thousands of leaking fork seals with this tool. If that's the case it's a great simple invention worth risking $5. on.
I'm sure the fork seal lobby will soon put an end to that! :lol:

I'm thinking in one's own mind.

Could be tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands.

Where to hang out, looking for thousands of leaking fork seals? Um, Sturgis or Daytona on fairly slow days.
