Neoprene strips in dust covers!
« on: July 18, 2008, 10:05:56 AM »
I used neoprene strips inside my R65 LS front fork dust covers as a experiment to see how effective it might be in keeping dust and grime away from my fork seals,so far so good,keeping them looking nice and shiny!will update if i have anymore news,anyone else done this? :)

You are talking about a substitute for the felt that goes inside the dust cover?

Yes i am,if you can find the correct thickness,i think it's works well,seems to keep the fork legs very clean,so far anyway!i had some very flexable strips which i decided to trim and fit,will update on how they are working out!or falling out ;)
