glad to hear it wasn't a major problem, sailariel!
I remember when I had my Model K 61 Cubic Inch Pre-Sportster, that I lost parts all over the place. You then needed a tube of Loctite, a crescent wrench, and a screwdriver in your pocket to deal with problems on the road---the good old days.Just epoxy them to the NT, in a out of the way place, and then you don't have parts "left over"....:wink: I still have bags of H-D parts that I have no idea of where they came from...:rolleyes1:
Agreed, it's a used bike, 58,000km on the clock, those are rather inexpensive wear parts, but having this done at a shop the labor costs would kill you...Seals arent for ever, but they are pretty amazing in their longevity, especially if they are in service. My 2004 CRV and 2006 Matrix dont drip a drop. Older Subaru cam shaft seals are a different matter.
Back then yes, and up to about 2006. Before they changed every little thing that worked fine just to “improve things”.German Engineering--very logical.
