I have been looking for fork seals to fix a leak for some time now and I am not having much luck finding any that will fit the bike. What is a good resource to use for parts? I have looked on americansportbike.com, Buell Parts, jpcycles.com, all with no luck.

I am about to resort to eBay. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Contact AL by phone, he has stuff not on the site, unless you have an altered front end
your front end is SHOWA and seals are easily had...

Avoid "ALL BALLS" 1125 board poster purchased some of their " wheel bearings rapid failure- IIRC No grease from factory

Oldog,

Who is AL?

I believe my front end is stock (it says Buell on the forks), but I already found some on ebay, received them, and already gave them to my mechanic to replace the leaky ones. I see that you mentioned wheel bearings not having grease from the factory. I don't think that would affect me, since I was just replacing the seals and bushings (which I got from American Sport Bike in SoCal.

Hopefully everything I got was correct for the bike.
