Hey, guys sorry for the first post being a question. I have a 2006 Ulysses and the left fork seal is leaking. Anybody know a good shop in central Alabama? |

Any bike shop can (or should) be able to do the work. Couple of hours of work, do both at the same time. |

Sportbike shop or a suspension shop can do it. It's also found on Ducatis. |

Thanks, for the info guys. This NewB appreciates it. I was thinking of taking it to a former Buell HD dealer for it, but there a good distance. I wonder if the local KTM dealer could do it, they sell the streetbikes. |

The fork tubes and internals are Showa. Oil and dust seals are common that ANY bike shop is likely to have the parts on hand. |

OH - you should consider bringing in the forks yourself rather than riding in the bike. Save yourself some $$$$ (call and ask but I'd bet you can save $50+) |

Thanks guys. It's a true statement from other sites as to how good you guys are. I went by the local indy shop and he ordered the parts. They should be in Wed. and drop the bike off Thursday.He knew what Buells are, so that was good. I didn't get the, "A what?" I love this bike, it's the best! |

Well, after waiting two weeks for my local shop to get my seals, I guessed they did'nt really want do the repair in the first place. So, I found a shop in Alabaster that is great. They are really motivated and customer oriented. I got new fork seals replaced and a new Dunlop Sportmax Q2 front tire. Can I post the name of the shop??? |
