Front fork rebuild

Post by Hillbilly »

Hi Everyone, I am getting ready to rebuild the front forks on my Voyager and was wondering if you had any idea on driving seals. A Kawasaki seal driver 5007-1219 is around 450-500.00. That's a little too much for me, I didn't know if anyone had an alternative.
Thanks

Motion Pro makes a nice kit, and there are Chinese clones on Amazon.
Most of the time, I find a piece of schedule 40 water pipe to work, although I can't say that there's a size appropriate to the ZG12.

I got mine from motion pro. Less that $50 Works great. Tried PVC pipe and other means in the past and seals leaked. Get the proper tool. You won’t be sorry.
