I'm in the process of changing my steering bearing, The kit I got from all balls includes a rubber seal, but the bike didn't have one when I took it apart it only had the cover

Should I install it or not? The bearing were really filthy when I removed them, but if I install them I'll have to buy another set if there a fitment issue.

My '98 S3T doesn't have that seal, just the metal shields. Maybe it was used on later models?

If the seal isn't in the way, I'd use it. Keeping water out of there has to be a good thing.

I used the seal version on my M2 with no problems.

Yup, upper and lower.
Same on the swing arm.
