Tiger 800 Fork Seal Leaking

It may be a single piece of grit. Try a shim of plastic soft and smooth.Dont scratch the slider,ffs

 

https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/fork-seal-protection.18586/ thats the shape of it, i made mine out of a plastic milk bottle which worked a treat, still didnt stop the leak tho' so had to change the seals, after 22,000 miles tho. suggest getting a level measuring tool if you do, so much easier

 

Is that a split at 9 o clock?

 

Won’t ask!!
