BTW - search for Ariete ARI.083 or OEM seals aviable at every BMW dealer or at MaxBMW web page.

What ever you do DON'T use the E-bay seals from Pyramid, they don't fit.
Go with seals from a dealer, money well spent.

Hello!
I have just checked. ARIETE lasted for 4,5 years and almost 20 000 kms.
Nod bad for almost off road standard of streets in Wroclaw  .
They cos 1/2 price of OEM and comes with special grease that makes them live longer.
I am about to change seals in my bike, yet this time gaiters will be added.
Best regards,

Hallo Rafal...
Btr: "" ...almost off road standard of streets in Wroclaw !! "".. love it !! Describes 60% of the roads here in New Hampshire as well, plus we have the deadly "frost heaves" to contend with year round !
OH... Gordon whoever you are... Welcome !! BTW, introductions are a form of courtesy on the K11OG forum. How about telling us something about you, your area of the world, your bike...etc ?? Would be nice.
Regards.... ride safe.....// Ernie in NH

| i bought a 1994 K1100 LT BMW. I have not been on a bike since 1977 when i had a 750 BMW that was a couple years old. i am learning to drive a motorcycle all over again. I have a learners permit. my bike has 56000 miles on it and was garage kept. it is beautiful. but it needed fork seals and i noticed my legs got hot while riding and it sit kind of tall. on the other side i also noticed it has GO. i thought i would give it a run and looked down and i was at 120 and climbing. i slowed down and knew then i had a ride. |

I have used Rancho 1952's. Available from Amazon for less than $5 each.
You may be able to find them at your local "off road accessory store" for probably more $.

+1 - I have imported it to Poland. They stay in place with no zip tie, looks good too.
