I have a feeling my fix is under-engineered both chemically and structurally. I think the plastic may be polythene and not easily bondable. Now considering a backing plate to reinforce the strut at th ...

Thanks for the help. I refilled with 400cc's per side, and all seems to be working great as far as the new seals and bushings go.
Unfortunately, I managed to pinch my front sensor wire between the fo ...

And put a set of fork gaiters in there when you are at it.
