many thanks for any help in advance!

try ebay i got mine from ther £6 + £2 post easy enough to fit as well

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.

Thanks for all your help!

much appreciated!!

Trev,

Thanks for the guide! what weight of oil should i use? and is the capacity of my gk71f forks the same as the gk76a as in your guide?
cheers

Will

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!

This might also be of some use to you:
