Well today has been a productive day even in the rubbish weather. When I bought the bike I noticed that the folks were leaking and over the month they have become worse, so I ordered the parts and today the oil and seals arrived. 

feels so much better now I actually have some suspension lol. 
 

  

Fingers crossed I will be around still next week so I can go for a play around the area with Pete next Friday. 

Edit - For some reason the order of the photos have been mixed up but you get the gist of it. 

Curious, how long total did it take?

Start to finish about an hour. 

Wow that's fast, gives me some encouragement to do mine.  Thanks!

Mate honestly they were really easy however it did look like my seals had been done recently however the person placed the seals in upside down lol. 

Now that's funny, I don't think I'd even do something like that

 Nice bike and great work on seals!

I wanted to share a tip learned the hard way.  When seals are tight to super tight I found that prying is a good way to ruin roundness of outer tubes.  So now I use a hook on a slide hammer which works way better than prying and doesn’t apply a crushing load to thin aluminum.  

Good use of the jack stands.
