    Check this sport bike out. Customer came into my sons shop for oil change. Customers fix for leaking fork seals: rags + tons of electrical tape !

    Doesn't the guy know a tube of bathroom silicone smeared all over the forks would be cheaper than replacing the tape all the time? Plus, he could pick the closest color to compliment the scratched and bug covered fairings!:)

    Well he's in the dealer for an oil change so I would presume he's mechanically challenged D.A.

    I honestly would consider sending him down the road,
    who knows what kind of crap he pulls on that bike, you know he
    wheelies it all the time, that's why forks are taped up with rags and tape
    he's busted the seals out
