Hi
If the bike does little they will fail often as the seals stick and tear after standing
If used Replace the bushes in the forks
If it still fails the tubes are worn whatever they look like! new tubes new bushes again and new seals! ____________________ Dave

Inspect the fork legs for pitting, if they are pitted, they can damage the new seals.
As above, worn bushings can cause seals to fail quickly.
So if it was me, I'd replace the seals and the bushings.
I have also had limited success with aftermarket seals and bushings. I reckon about 1 in 3 aftermarket seals I have fitted fails quite quickly. Aftermarket bushings can also be a very poor fit and require filing/fettling to set the correct end-gap. As such, I would recommend using genuine honda parts, which usually aren't as expensive as you'd imagine. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.
