Topic: Fork Seal Removal 78' 750F

[Zax]

Hi,

 I am hoping some one can look at the pic and tell me if the metal portion that I have beat up pretty badly is part of the fork seal or the fork leg. The searching I have done has not helped me much. I am hoping that is it part of the fork seal and is just rusted to the fork leg itself after the 20 odd years it sat. My concern is that seals i got from the dealership look very little like the seal that is in there currently.

Thanks,

Zach

Yep,looks like the seal to me. Boil that leg in a pot of water the try and grab that protrusion with some needle noae vice grips and twist towards the center. If marred to bad I have two perfwct legs I would let go cheap....

I used a cheap heat gun that made it easier. This tool is really useful.
- Which kind of seals will you use? Same as CB750 k6?
The low 11mm seals are crap. My leaked direct.  CycleX version. I ordered HONDA OEM from Germany that look similar.
I got much better ones from David Silver that sell the thicker version. Huge difference when this model is more rigid as well. Same type I used +30 years ago. No doubts how to mount it eaither

See this link where I wrote my experience after I here found out which to use.
