One of my fork seals is leaking. I looked up the install info. on this sitr and think I can tackle it.

Can anyone tell me the part # for my '95 K1100LT and where I can buy them?

Thank you,
Ragman

Rag.
Put a pair of Fork Boots after intalling new seals.
Looks good and protects the seals from getting hurted by debris and dirt.

You can order them from any dealer - most dealers will have them in stock.

You don't need to know the part # - that's what they pay the parts guy for.

Drake didn't you put in some sort of "super seal" that is supposed to have a crazy lifespan?

After much Googling I came to the conclusion that that company only makes fork seals for 2 valve Ks.

I ordered a pair on FleaBay from Pyramid Parts Worldwide, $14.50 delivered. Also a pair of gaiters from Rancho.

Great answers and insights!
