ByteN2it - 2013-01-20 2:22 PM Tom, I've always improvised a seal driver, either using an old seal cut in half & placing it on top of the new seal & rotating & tapping to seat the new seal or making a PVC one ( 2" Schedule 40 works great) with tapered/ beveled end to drive the new seal home. The Motion Pro tool's nice and not terribly expensive, my problem is it always seems like it's late at night or a Sunday when I need a special tool and this one's easy to fabricate. Thanks Brian, I think I'll try your improvised PVC seal driver. I was thinking of holding the split pieces together with either a zip tie or a large hose clamp. Monkeyman - 2013-01-20 2:41 PM http://buywitchdoctors.com/p/1910/victory-motorcycle-parts-products... Witchdoctors has one for a 43mm fork. Maybe he's got one for a 46mm fork? Do you know for sure the 2009 fork tubes are 46mm? I measured 45mm but could be wrong. johnnyvision - 2013-01-20 6:08 PM I went to hardware store and bought Some pvc pipe and drove my seals home. Pvc is light weight so you have to hit the seals a few times. Make sure your pvc is flat on the bottom and if you can find a metal washer to sit on top of the seal while driving the seal in is great. I'll just bet if you went to any aftermarket shop they would drive them in for nothing If the PVC worked for you and Brian, it should work for me ... thanks.
