Right folks, some help needed...

I'm replacing the fork seals (oil and dust) on my (newly aquired) Triumph Trident 750. I've got the relevant Haynes manual and feel confident I can do the job myself. My problem is that the haynes manual instructions are to replace the bushes, piston ring (on the damper) and the O-ring on the top bolt... and I cannot find the specific parts for my bike. Is it just a case of taking the forks apart, measuring the bits that need replacing and ordering them by size, or should I go to a triumph dealer with my VIN number etc to obtain the exact parts?

All help will be gratefully recieved! And here's a pic of my little beast! (please bear in mind I'd just got her home, hence all the dirt and the rental van in the background)

I would get the parts from Triumph you need to replace. This way you know your getting the right parts and you can strip and rebuild in one sitting.

Here is a link to the schematic.
