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???
