  • Tired of searching

    I am looking for fork seals with the triple lip from Honda that fit the 78E, either part number or specific Model to order from. Anyone know? Every search I look it lists all kinds of aftermarket ones but I want to give GENUINE Honda seals a try. I know God will get me for saying that, but my Yammy dealer says OEM from them are no longer available. I have tried Leakproof, All Balls and others and am not satisfied with the results. Oh Yeah if they ship to Canada is a great help, specially if they do not ship UPS (which is about $50 for brokerage to Canada) which sucks hard! Thanks for any input!

    After some quick searching, the 83-86 Honda VT500C Shadow uses the 37X49X8 fork seals, which is the same size as our Standard's. I'm pretty sure genuine Yamaha is available here in the US.

    Edit: The new Yamaha P/N is 41Y-23145-00-00 OIL SEAL

      Been searching that particular number and only find aftermarket. Just want to cross it to a Honda number to see if I can get one locally. Best dealer around here is a Honda dude and has been in business since I was born.
