    they suck

    I used them once. Maybe for other bikes, but factory seals only. Double lipped and thicker.

      I put EMGO seals in this last time. They looked real good, double lipped and solid.

      Put Bikemasters in on the rebuild I did about 5 years ago. They seemed to last pretty well until I went off roading in Utah a couple years ago fully loaded. Took out the fork seals and the seals in the XJ shocks I have on there.

        The XS is the second best off-road bike. All others tied for first...
