Another fork seal question

[ddragon63]

This is where my problems really starts as I don't have an ebay account or even a credit card so those choices are out.

you can open a paypal account with a checking account. then you can use it to pay for stuff on ebay. obviously you have internet access

Or you can get reloadable credit debit cards from most check cashing places small fee to turn your money into plastic.

You can go to your local bike shop and they should be able to order them for you. PartsUnlimited has them. Correct size for a Special is 37X48X10.5

+1 I sourse alot of stuff thru my local mom and pop shop. they buy from parts unlimited, plus others, and can get most stuff within 3 days for me.

I am on the hunt for some fork seals for my sf, and was wondering where other people have been buying them. I have been told by bearing supply houses that the 37x48x10 is an oddball size and i have read on here that there were easily sourced.

Hi TR,
seems the correct size is 37 x 48 x 12.5. Try that size at your favourite bearing store.

I tried B.C. bearing, kinecor now known a wajax industial, and commercial solutions today the closest they could come up with was 37x50x10 and i know that would not work. I found the 37x48x6 at hitech seals for about 4 bucks each but they told me it would take a couple of weeks to get them.

There is what??? 15 or 20 yamaha or bike dealers in Edmonton. The gas you waste driving around looking for a deal will more than pay for the seals from Yammie. Yeah I know they are about 15 bucks instead of 4 but they have them, no shipping or Credit card hassle. Best idea!
You can do the whole ebay and paypal thing with just a checking account too. That is a mighty big help to us us here, when we need parts. I use paypal for a lot more than just ebay as well. Check it out Laurier, you might like it.

I didn't drive to any of them i used my cell phone and my bluetooth and my yellowpages app on my phone to call them and i thought that yamaha had discontinued the fork seals for the specials. I could be wrong I did phone and talk to one of them about it when i ordered my new shift return spring which i have now.

[trdriver71]

I talked to the bike shop i have been dealing with for other items and they said they can get a 37x48x10.5 seal and the brand was or at least what it sounded like on the phone while in my truck was athena.
