I purchased a 1986 Goldwing Interstate 3 weeks ago. The bike had been parked for two years in a heated garage. After the test ride, I checked for oil leakage around the fork seals and there was none. After riding the bike home 350 miles, I noticed a small amount of leakage. Now after a thousand mile trip, the oil is pouring out. Now for the question. How hard is it to replace the seals? I am experienced in automotive mechanics and can do most all automotive repairs. Several places I have checked have the seals and the price varies from 10 to 30 dollars. Plus, does anyone know of an easy way to get that glue called fork oil off everything. The bike is deadlined until I get it fixed.
