Default Chrome Front End Kit, Who Bought & Installed?

I ordered the complete kit from H-D and would like to know from those that have installed this on a bike, does it come with the necessary seals loose or installed in the lowers? Or do I need to purchase them separately?
Just buying the lowers, the H-D site shows and list the seals. However, the complete kit for lowers does not show, or list the seals in product description. Have called two different dealers, and neither could tell me yes or no.

Man, everything I have looked into doesn't say the kit comes with seals, I would guess they don't come with them. You are going to want to replace the inner and outer bushings while doing this job so just pick up a set of seals when you get the bushings and return them if they are not needed. I also highly recommend installing some Progressive Monotubes at this time to do wonders for your front end.

Bought the monotubes about 9 months ago. Just now getting around to installing them. So thought the chrome front would be smart to do now. Just doesn't make sense to me that if you order only the lower sliders, they give you the seals and bushings, but spend alot more for everything, and seals and bushings wouldn't be included.

+1 for the monotubes. As long as you're right there....

I just got done installing a chrome front end kit on my FXSTC came with lower sliders, chrome tree caps, chrome axle wheel caps, and chrome spacer kit. It also includes new fork seals and dust seals, no bushings. I ended up unfortunately just buying a fork rebuilding kit from HD dealer this came with all the seals and new bushings and damper tube screws.
