I have to replace my fork seals as they are starting to leak, and found these on ebay. Can anyone advise me if they're any good? Or should I go genuine?

Leak like a sieve mate. Used these on the GSXR Chopper and they pissed oil just moving about the shed .

I thought about them,

....then decided that although they are cheap,
they are not worth the hassle of pulling it all out again
and re-doing it if they are not 100%.

Didn't risk it and got stung for genuine Suzuki.

Yeah can thinking of nothing worse then fitting new ones and have them leak, I'd be pisssed off having to do it all again:( Got the new Rapid and Geoff actually covers replacing fork seals in his do it yourself column, so I'll be following his step by step guide and my trusty service manual;)

I foolishly bought a set of pyramid wheel bearings for a Kwaka I was tampering with for a quick resale. Rode the bike from Sunbury to Brighton for a RWC and in that distance - 72kms - the rear wheel had more movement in the rear than Jenna Jameson in "Rimmer Takes all"
Don't bother with Pyramid. Cheap for a reason
