Title: fork seals orientation
Post by: rd400canuck on February 25, 2020, 12:01:07 PM
Dont kill me for asking but which way do the for seals go in?  The large gap side of the seal inwards?

Thats what I suspect but after some of the dumb things Ive found on this bike I wanted to double check.

yes, you are right. the more -open- cup faces down. the flatter side goes up.

yep, so it can expand and seal when fork compressing. Also like other similar things writing or marks out.
