Good old ebay. Another good place to get parts is Robinsons Foundary call 01227 454366.

As for how to do them, myself and Stripes1976 put together a step by step guide a while back.
PM me with your email address and I will try and find it and send you a copy.

Email with the fork seal 'how to' guide sent.
It is based on the GK76 forks but should give you the idea.

I use 10wt although the spec sheet on the 76 states 5.

I have found the info for you though:

Always a great place for gsxr info!
