Hey guys, I'm trying to find a more cost effective option for fork seals for my RVF, other than the eBay junk. All Balls do a set for the. VFR750 - will they fit?

Measurements as follows;

35-1028 oil seal – 41mm x 54.3 / 54.05 mm x 11 mm

36-1016 dust seal – 41mm  x 54.4mm  x 12.5mm

Cheers.

Don't fit pettern seals,Fit OEM,
You will end up doing the job twice,Pattern seals are crap.

Using FSK fork seals, claimed to be low stiction. Been in 12 months no leaks, bit cheaper than OEM in Australia.

I wasn't planning on Pattern, All Balls is an american brand that seems to be well reviewed online.

Where did you land the FSK Magg?

Steer away from pattern ones, it's crap. On one of my sets of rvf forks there are multiple cracklines like a dried-up rubber component whilst it was just on the project bike. I only stick with OEM for sure.

Helps if I use the correct name, SKF fork seals made by the SKF bearing people. Not sold by normal SKF bearing resellers, I had to contact SKF head office to find my local supplier.

Yep.

I tried to be clever & fitted quality aftermarket NOK seals - they leaked & were less supple & totally different design to the NOK seals that came from Honda.

The OE fork seal set 51490-MN8-305 fits pretty much every Honda with 41mm forks including VFR750, NC30 and NC35.

I would also advise that you avoid pattern seals...

Can't go wrong with OEM. Correctly fitted and unabused forkseals have lifetime spans in decades... not worth messing with anything else.

I fitted some once marked as "Original Japanese quality" and they lasted less than 6 months.
