Where can i get some oil seals for my fork? There was a thread a while back about getting them from hydraulic seal shops., but too bad it got deleted.
Would BC bearings have it?
Probably. Raeside Industrial Bearings and Drives in COQ stocks the oil seals, thats where Mulletron goes.

You could try Wriason Seals or Fluidseal as well

the Fluidseal on bridgeport richmond?
do they do normal retail? or are they a ditributor?
mullet's seals from raeside are awesome for the price but for me, i could never get that professional "clean, grease-free" stanchions i desired.
in the early spring after corey helped me with the fork, it was uber plush and responsive until late june, although some oil moistened, but now almost at the end of july and tons more ridin, plus the torturous heat, its leaking pretty bad, not drip leak but semi-drip spill leak.
but considering i only paid corey 1/3 the price of getting the proper seal+labor and got a good 3 month of riding, it was worth it.
btw, mulletron, if you are reading this, i might get the 40X30X8-9 next time instead of the 40X30X7 you got me last time.
perhaps the stack wasnt tall enough to gimme that secure ness, but i m not sure. maybe i might just get a job and support marz's over-priced department, and thanx again.

So how much do you save by buying your seals here? I thought that RS seals were only like $13 a piece.

RS seals are $20 a piece, 40 for both.
i can just order them through the company for 10 a piece, but i dont wanna give them too much hassel if i can get the same thing for same/less price.
You can't get RS dust seals (XXX seals) from any place but your LBS. I paid 13 for one for my old Judy.

Try BC Bearings (www.bcbearings.com), they've got a few locations in the Lower Mainland I think.. they carry TCM seals which should come in a size that will fit a variety of forks.
Seals that fit the Boxxer go for $3.99 each
Furious, your link doesn't work. BC bearing turns up http://www.bearings.com/ on google, go Locations > british Columbia for locations.
Those boxxer seals are the oil seals right? Not the grey XXX?

we got boxxer seals for 7.50$ apiece from cariboo chrome & hydralics,they normaly supply the forest industry.The guy who sold em to me seemed miffed that anyone could charge so much
they don't seem any better or worse than rox shox seals

yes, the black oil seal under the grey dust seal.
Neither my psylo or judy use oil seals... I am always hoping to find dust seals for cheaper, but havent yet.

Yes, they're the black oil seals... my mistake about the url... a buddy of mine picked up 4 seals for me this afternoon from the 4004 Grant Street location (close to Boundary and Lougheed).. total was about $18 with taxes for the 4 seals...
