Hi, I have an issue with my CB and its fork seals, they have basically broken. I have the oil seals and dust seals and fork oil. I just need some guidance on how replacing them is done please. Also, how much fork oil will be required per fork? Cheers, Rob

Yea, is a good idea to have those rubber corrugated covers.. but may make the bike look pants. Have you tried looking for workshop manual pdfs for yours, there's loads out there? Have a look here.. https://www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp
