It's exactly like the Chris Harris Ewe-Tube video. I haven't got them apart, but am guessing that's the problem and will need some sort of cutting device to get them off. It's frustrating as hell and guess what, the seals were done by the local dealer a couple of years ago. Same scenario as the video.
Basically, I am stuck with a bike with no front forks! Even worse, because I am time poor, I dropped it off a bike repair shop for it's yearly rego inspection and to get a service done at the same time - when they noticed the RHS fork was leaking. So it's sitting in the middle of the shop with no wheel and they can't move it because it's too big and heavy.
trying to help them source some forks so they get rid of the bike and I get it back again!
cheers
