Just replaced my leaking fork seals, and while at it I also replaced upper and lower DU bushings. On rebound damping fork, upon tear-down I noticed a rubber bushing torn in half, and I have no idea where it came from.:-o

It's not from any of the parts that come apart when swapping fork seals. The fork acts like a pogo stick. The manual I have says the damper assy cannot be serviced! I figure that's where it came from.

Any ideas???

Oh yeah forgot to mention size of the bushing;
1/4" long, 3/4" outer dia., 1/2" inner dia.

Just to reiterate, this isn't a part of the assy of the fork seal, cap, DU bushings, etc.

Man this is driving me looney.:-o My bike is hanging from the rafters under my deck, and I'm afraid it's gonna rain soon. wa wa wa!

They are reworkable, but you'll need the proper information. It takes some drilling on some. RaceTech or Traxxion Dynamics should be able to help. I don't have the info for your forks, but maybe someone here does.
