HardTaco's tip o' the day
Ok, since I did my fork springs I have had leaky front fork seals...what a bummer right? Well after driving all over town trying to find a sealmate to clean my seals with(with no such luck), the skys parted and the light came down. I had some old tearoff's sitting around. I trimmed one to mimic a seal mate and it did the trick, no more leaky fork seals. Now Im going to carry an extra tear off no matter where I go. I think it actually did better at cleaning the seals than my old seal mate did.
Just thought it might help someone out!

It's a thin plastic lense cover for goggles - you stack a few on your goggles and when they get muddy, you pull a "tear off" which peels off a layer and you have clear vision at least until you get roosted again at which time you pull another one off. When you run out, you throw your goggle away and hope you don't get a rock in your eye.

Well even I knew what tear offs were tremmor
Oh wait that's because it has something to do with keeping a clean view in front of you. Nevermind[8D][8D][8D]

Yeah, we know. You probably refer to them as "zip cleans', 'rip cleans' or 'peel dirts'
