#1 PostAuthor: NortyHarold » Sat Sep 20, 2008 4:31 pm

Hi Guys

Would any of the Rickman guys here know where I can purchase the dust seals for the 38mm Betor Forks. I live in Australia but Im not having any luck chasing them down here>

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did the seals in the marzochi (however you spell it) forks on my harris recently. If you look at the old seals theres usually the size moulded in the top face of them in TINY writing.

Local parts supplier should be able to match them up with set from another bikes fitment by using theyre trade catalogues which have the sizes in them as well. Thats what I did. :wink:

The dust shrouds - no, but if you do mean the oil seals they are a stock seal.

For Rickman parts where you live, try my mate John in Australia.... the_rickman_rider@bigpond.com He deals and sells Rickman parts and should be able to help.

Sorry for the confusing, Jon you were correct I did infact mean the Dust Shrouds/cover. The ones that were on the forks are not original and are poorly fitting, too small and they dont stay seated even with some assistance. Ill have alook for the size in the face an go the next size up.

Will, Ive already tried John and he dosnt have any either, Good friend of mine who has helped me heaps. Ill let him know you are peddling his wares. Im sure he'll be appreciative!

Thanks NH. Just remind John that I still have his rear Ronal wheel hanging from the rafters in my garage. It's no bother there, I've tried to sell it for him but who wants to buy "one trouser leg" :lol:
Ah well, I'm sure one day he'll drop in if he ever visits the UK.!

As for dust covers, is this of any help http://www.angelfire.com/biz/laverda/itcatalog/fo2.htm
