No, it's just a little ice cream.

Yes.
I've been using them since I was a kid. I can't remember ever having to replace "Leak Proof" seals. If you want to order them, you need dimensional size to do so. They are not expensive.

Does anyone know the "dimensional size" of stock 06 uly seals or how to measure what if I take the old ones off.

I've heard good things about them in the Dirt Bike world.

I used them for years back in my MX days. They were the hot product back then.

I would not hesitate to use them. As a matter of fact, this winter I want to change the oil and will put in new seals and components at that time.

I also would like to know the dimensions of an 08XT seal.

I have a new Buell 43mm seal in my hand and there are no dimensional markings on it at all. FYI.

From the web site of Thunder Products:

1. Measure the outside diameter (OD) of your fork seal

2. Measure the fork leg to get the inside diameter (ID) of your fork seal

3. Order the number matching your measurements

bleeding the pressure from your forks after riding it will also help keep your seals from blowing out.

remember to lift the front wheel off the ground while doing this or you'll end up with negative pressure.
