What is the approximate price I should expect to pay for both fork seals to be replaced on my ST1300? Thanks for the info. Cordially, Dave

Dunno but it might be a good time to replace your stock springs.

Twisties are your friend
I priced it at my shop recently. 2 hours labor if you bring the bike in, 1 hour if you pull the forks and bring them in. Seals were cheap, 15 or so. It took me about 30 minutes to pull the forks off, 40 minutes to put them back on. If I remember right labor,seals,new oil and tax came to 115.00

I did the labor. Parts were $23.97-3 bottles fork oil, $39.16- 2 sets of fork seals, $11.16- 2 slider bushings, plus tax. $80.23 total parts. I did not replace the bolt sealing washers or the cap o-rings because the dealer did not stock them.
Just yesterday I had both fork seals replaced with new ones and new 10w fluid.
The shop rate was $70 an hour, and the job took a total of 2 1/2 hours.
So, with the cost of parts, the total including tax was about $215.
I will have this paid for in one month by simply cutting out daily visits to Starbucks.
Of course, I have no intention of actually doing that.
Yes, I could have tried to do it myself. But to me, the $200 and the convenience of having a professional do it was well worth it.

Hey "norton", you didn't figure in the gas $$ to Alamagordo!!!! LOL.
Hi Dana!
You are correct, and nor did I figure in the cost of an overnight stay at a
Best Western.
But, it was an adventure, and a great ride across our southwest New Mexico!

Maybe next time I can go with you.
