Fork leak?

[Boomer]

I just had new seals fitted to my 08. The chrome is mostly worn away at 75k miles which is pretty poor.
He polished them smooth and for now they are sealing.
I am thinking about replacing them with ZX14 forks as more options for upgrades as well as having separate compression and rebound damping adjustments.

Brought the Concours in yesterday and left it at the dealer. I hope it doesn't take 3 weeks like they said it might.

Got a call from the dealer today, they found that the front brake pads were soaked by the fork oil and the rear pads were at 20% remaining (original pads and I am at 45k miles). So, for another $100 they are going to get new pads on.

The bike should be done tomorrow or Friday.

[That's a great deal. Front pads alone are close to a 100.

Likely because the forks are off, which means they have easy access anyway.

They are easy either way. At any rate it's a great price and a good time to do it.

Got the bike back today. Most expensive wash the bike has had. ;-)

All good on the ride home though.
