Fork Seal Tool ID
Hey,
If you have the 41mm fork seal tool, could you post the I.D. please (02 Road King). An estimate of the tool ID, from the seal itself is 1.70" diameter. I dont have the forks apart yet. How close am I?
Tool OD 2.00 + .10 -.00?

I don't use the tool or a piece of PVC. I use my fingers to push them most of the way. Then, I seat them using 2 wooden dowels 180 degrees from each other......I do it this way, because I don't pull the legs outta the trees.

Kbore, this site here shows you how to make a seal tool. You cut slits in the pipe so you can size it to your particular setup.
If you double click on the picture it enlarges it. The actual description of how to make it is near the bottom of the page.
