[QUOTE="56michael, post: 225539, member: 5916"] Replaced both fork seals about 3 weeks ago on my 81. Put about 400 miles on it with 20 pounds of air in the front and 50 in the back no leaks. Went on vacation for two weeks and when I got back last night one of the forks has a small leak. I wiped it off and checked it this morning and a little more fluid had leaked out over night. All the leaking has occurred without the bike being ridden. Too much air in the forks? The seal install went very well with no problems. Put 8oz of fluid in each fork after replacing the seals. And ideas? [/QUOTE]
