Tombie must just drive slower. LOL. He doesn't have this problem.

I know there is no way mine would fit without the extended bump stops or taller towers. I have the later now.

At least you just need a couple of parts and some oil and thay'll be as good as new again. You can get all you need from Heasemans if you need. I'm, going to get a different valve stack for the rear from them soon.

Happy Days.

This is only the primary whipper seal no sign of any oil leakage I won't even need to let the gas out. It's the next seal that hold all that in. On second thoughts I might let the gas out to be a bit safer.
Anyone know where to get the gas higher then 150psi? That all I can get from Jax.

Try a motor cycle shop. They do mine.

I think you'll need to remove the shaft and take off the piston to replace the wiper?

These the ones?

Yep those are the ones I used but I asked them to make them 50mm taller and it was no problem.

Go back a few pages mate, I already suggested this, then did the measurements on it, its a nogo.

Factory bush OD is 40+ odd mm, ID of the 7100's is low 30's for memory.
