I didn't know Showa and WP used the same seals? Perhaps the Ebay seller is mistaken? I looked at this page -

http://www.wp-group.com/en/dealers/

It shows four WP dealers in Oz, but three are in QLD, where the fourth one is I didn't look. Might be worth a call though?


The fourth one is in Welshpool, which is a suburb of Perth, not very far away, cheers :yup:

Result!


Welshpool is just down the road from me lOl

S1 WP are 40mm
X1 Showa are 41mm

They might leak oil :run:

I'll send you some genuine WP seals if you get stuck.


They've arrived. 41mm lOl I've ordered the correct ones from Twin Motorcycles in NL. I'll now moan to the ebay guy and get my money back.

PS- Welshpool was no good, it's a general parts distributor for loads of companies, they wouldn't have been able to help.

Fitted and tested :yup:

Don't know how long they'll last. Drove the seal in on one fork then realised I hadn't put the red plastic retainer in :oooops: Next time I got both forks back in the bike, then found the spacers that go under the seals still attached to the old seals :headbang: It's amazing how much quicker you can do the job when you've just done it twice already :yc:
