Anybody here ever used the Pyramid fork seals sold on Fleabay? Results?

My LT got infected after being too close to the Bugeye Motobrick a couple of weeks ago and now my right fork is peeing all over.

I bought a pair of the Pyramid ones last year just to have around but want to see what other people's experiences have been before installing them.

Do you have the fork boots covering things up?

Sorry to hear the Bug Eye gave you the drips.

Sorry, I did not try them.

Drake, don't waste your time or money on them. BTDT. didn't work for me.
They are not a direct drop fit, and only a single lip seal instead of the 2 lip seal of the bmw seals.

I have a 2nd set of them collecting dust as I'm not going to use them.

Thanks.

I thought someone had posted about them before but a search on Pyramid fork turned up nothing here. Funny thing though, I found your post on Ted's new test K11 forum when I Googled.

No fork boots on the LT. Since you have to drop the forks to install fork boots I figured that I'd just wait until a seal went to do it. I'm picking some boots up tomorrow.

There was a lot of crap on the road and it was sprinkling when I went riding with Johnny. I think that's what did it in.

I may just swap over the forks from the non-running 48k LT I've got. Those had boots (now a little old and cracked so not suitable for my LT) and the forks seem to be in pretty good shape.
