That video exemplifies why I can't do the work myself. Space.
Fingers crossed I might be moving somewhere where I will have an off-street area. The seals are a ridiculous £26 each. So I think I might wait for a bit.
I guess I could rub a thin layer of grease over the top of the current seals to reduce the risk of water ingress? They were just flagged as something that needed doing rather than imminently failing.
Or could that damage the rubber? Would silicone be better?

Fork oil tends to be petrochemical based so I can't see why grease would do any damage. Not sure it would help much either. I need to change the seals in the Sportster but they are a bit more complicated to do.
Have you tried the milk bottle plastic trick to clean out any dirt inside the seals? This may cure the problem in the short term.

Working outside isn't much fun at this time of year. I feel the pain on tools as I've started a new project which has cost me a fair bit on buying stuff and I've just discovered more tools to buy.
Do you know anyone local who could help you with any of it.
Not much really happening on the scrambler since he lowered it so Penny could ride it. Should be done more bits and pieces coming up I expect now he has the new garage sorted. He has a playlist now for the scrambler so worth checking that if you aren't sure if you've seen everything.
