Hey,
I'm looking at replacing my crappy old fork seals. I have my 33mm forks but after hours of searching can't find technical sizes for the fork seals or dust wipers :banghead:
P.S. Any tips on fork oil weight?
 
I just put a set of All Balls seals in my forks recently and I like the look of them. They have like 3 oil wiper seals on them and springs on both sides.

I have 15w oil in my forks. The biggest improvement came from replacing the springs, however.

I found plenty for sale on ebay, just make sure you're not buying for the maxim on accident.
 
I have 10W in mine, also works just fine. The manual recommended 10w30 engine oil, but I thought that was a bit prehistoric. I think 15W or 20W will add some extra dampening, next time I'll go for a slightly heavier. But as will (bcware) said, if you want better suspension get some better springs
