Looks like I'm in the market for new fork seals and probably boots for my
new (to me) A12...One of em started leaking pretty bad today...Bummer, only
put about 200 km on it so far!(25000 km total though)Anyways I'm looking for
something easy to install and readily available in Canada.I've heard the
lifetime seals are kinda tough to install, and I have no idea where to
source them in Canada.
Would factory parts be my best bet?
I searched the archive and I think I'm gonna try Swede's air method of
removal.The tubes themselves look perfect.
Thanks guys!

I finally got around to doing the lifetime seals yesterday afternoon
and they were CAKE. No need to dismantle the forks to do seals if
you're careful.
As far as boots go, Daystar number 58 in the color of your choosing
are the way to go; zillion times better than stock.

I think you mean the 'Leakproof' brand and I saw some hanging on my dealer's wall, so they must be available in Canada. Your dealer should be able to get them, and if he tries to push OE on you, go somewhere else.
