Don't know if it is forkseal or steering head grease but if it is fork seal I changed mine on my Ultra with very little experience on bikes.Longest part of it was the faring removal.Also don't buy one of those $65 forkseal drivers use a piece of pvc pipe with the burrs sanded off.

Ya break fluid on tins BAAADDD!! Also finding out in traffic you havenofront brake is Priceless!! Happened to me at this past Sturgis on the River in Davenport Ia.. Just had the 10k service donea week before and went to grab some front brake (Using back as well) to stop in traffic and guess what ? no frigging brake? Well I almost "stood" on the rear (2UP) and all was ok. All three connections were loose one of which was completely not connected!. Anyway got some fluid and bled/filled her back up. Needless to say front fender and both sides of gas tank are toast! called dealer on way home on that Saturday and left a nice to the point message. long story short they fessed up and have ordered new fender and tank not in yet as takes 6-10 weeks. It doesn't look to bad but is noticable at the right angle/sun...............at least they made it right.................MyRide7

You guys were right. I went out and looked at the steering head and it was loaded with extra grease. More seeping on the left side than right side. I'm sure that is where the drips were comming from. I wiped it clean and hope no more drips. Thanks for your help.

I've changed the fork oil on all my metrics and my BMW and have never messed with the fork seals except on an air fork that was leaking. Why would you mess with the seals just to change the oil?
