Just a heads up on forks leaking. I have not replaced fork seals in a long time. I just cut a hook out of a cross section of a piece of thin plastic bottle like a Sparkling Ice bottle and clean out the fork seals. You can look up something like fork seal cleaner on Amazon. My way is free and saves buying new seals. New oil is infrequently needed. Just trying to save you the trouble.

It's been about 7 years since I last rebuilt forks with new seals and bushings, I have the motion pro seal cleaner and have done it multiple times but it's time. I live in the land of sand NM I'm sure that doesn't help the seals.

I managed to find NOS Scg forks that will be rebuilt with new seals and Hyperpro springs in the front and rear shock.

Be sure to replace the Bushings while you're at it. It took me two seal jobs until I realized this was needed. Third time's a charm!

Looking good. I just got done rebuilding a couple sets of forks.

What is that tool next to the spring box? Fork holder?

Yup, bench fork clamp! 100% not necessary but it was given to me as a christmas present. I will say it is nice working standing up though.
