Need help and advise for fork seal leak?

[phatchopper300]

Here is a pic of my left fork? Is this a leak in the seal. It doesn't do it this bad all of the time. Right side is not this bad at all. Its has not rained in the last few days and have not changed fork oil with 5,430 miles. Any input? Thanks

Change the for oil every 10000 miles. When the fluid is actually runninng up the leg is when you know you need seals. There is a great how to by GasMan on changing your seals. It takes a little time ut is not hard to do at all and you can use standard Harley 41mm seals and shit whene the time comes.

I agree with the Captain, yup, yup. :2thumbs: That's what happened to the seals on the old Honda Interceptor I had anyway. When the forks actuated (so to speak) it left a film of oil on the leg of the fork. Changed the seals and problem solved.
