hawk fork seals.

I swaped out the nasty fork oil on my hawk for new 15w fork oil.

I never rode a mile on the cooker oil or whatever was in there,, black with chunks...

That said, after a few admitedly hard rides on some rough trails its weaping fork oil out of the left side onto my brake.

it had bottomed a few times onto the fender, but I didnt expect it would blow the seal.

I ordered a set of alls balls seals that I believe will fit, ill post the results and anything I learn in the process.

my brothers first impression of the hawk was, those forks will never hold up to your abuse, guess he was right.

ive never blown a seal from this company so hope they will hold up, better than the originals.
