Thanks Phil, valuable info as usual. I did buy two seals just in case. I have this driver set which will push the seal in flush. Great tool to have for seals and bearings.

Guess what. Mine is too. It's small at the moment. I put a folded up Pig Mat up inside the cover and I change this tampon before each long ride. It's rideable but perhaps a different seal would work. Single lip? High temp? Split the cases and put the OEM part in? At this point I am planning on changing it once a year as regular maintenance (if I see a leak that is).

yea..there was a sliver of metal from edge of speedy sleeve may have cut the seal.
no way to see if oil got under the sleeve.
no room for tape to prevent cutting seal.
I plan to sand the edge of sleeve to make a smooth edge for installing seal.
This repair was working for thousands of miles, but it should last longer.

I will install this one.
It is only leaking from the inside edge and should be fixable...i hope80 G
