Post by Bob Distelcamp »

I have a leaking fork seal that will be fixed next week, BMW does not list Gators on there

They are listed as "fork boots" I believe. The /5-/6-/7 ones may not fit your K, depending on which one you have. Check out this string for info with the bmw part number and other alternatives:

Also check your fork legs Bob for any burrs that have caused the seal to fail.
They may need to be linnished with a 2" wide strip of 'whatever grit'
