      Posted this nearly two years ago, so it held up this long. Unfortunately, had a full seal blowout yesterday so now it’s time for a rebuild lol

      Same here I got a new kit about a month ago and ran over a bump on the road then started leaking, hopefully I didn't blow the gasket but I'll make sure to check it out and see if this helps

    LOL FOCUS!! Dude, hilarious. Getting ready to get one of these $7 bad boys, well in today's economy it's probably like $37, but still worth it. Thanks bro!

    This is my friends company and believe me, these things work. We rode in the desert and got so much sand and little rocks up in the seals, oil was leaking out like crazy. It took about 5 rounds but the oil stopped leaking. Thanks Jeff and Robert

    I have a slight leak on my XC and was searching for rebuild videos. Glad I found this. THANKS!!

    Glad the person at the dealership gave you the info to try Seal Mate. Seven bucks is a whole lot better than hundreds of dollars. I know I'd be happy with those results. I had heard of Seal Mate before but did not really understand the concept. I appreciate you doing this vlog, because next time my forks start to leak, I will sure as heck give it a try. Great information and great video! Ride and stay safe up there in, Ye Olde Kentucky. Love ya Father Bobber!

    That's good to have on the road if you encounter fork oil leaking. Great find and share. That will help a lot of people. 🤙🤙

    What did you do to check the fork fluid level and replace the lost fork oil?

    Damn I'm going to have to try this with my Vegas, it has oil leaking on the forks.

    I started doing this by cutting them out of a 2 liter coke bottle. I have a sealmate and it works 80 percent of the time. Been doing this for years.

      Like I said, you don’t gotta buy this thing. I just never would’ve thought to do it. So this is for people like me who just wouldn’t have known otherwise lol

    How many miles on your Victory? My Cross Country Tour just noticed a bit of oil on fork at 47,500 miles, Maybe I`ll give Seal Mate a try. Thanks 😎👍

    • @FatherBobber

      This was around 32k miles. I’m at 41k now and not a drop of oil since!

    I just cut a plastic spoon and it worked fine. I say just cut up an old card and use that instead.

    Did you top off the oil in the fork?

    I was worried you were going to say, "no leaks, it must have been Dynabro oil..."

      That was always a possibility.
