Africa Twin fork seals south of Nador

Hello,

We have just arrived on the Nador ferry and need fork seals for an Africa Twin. Can anyone recommend someone likely to have them in stock between Nador and Taza?

Thanks

Patrick.

There's not much between Nador and Taza other than villages. I would take it to one of the little moped places in Nador and see if they can clean the seals (sometimes it's grit in the seals).

In stock is rather asking a lot!Tim is right..

A ring around might help if you know what size they are.
Uisng Google maps, it brings this lot up in Nador.

I found fork seals in some unlikely-looking places, so you never know. I've also had good luck with the sliver-of-coke-bottle-or-old-credit-card cleaning trick. And I've learned to bring spare fork seals on long journeys; sometimes I include replacement front brake pads for the ones which invariably get contaminated by the time I notice my leaky seal.

Glib advice for the OP: If or when you find your seals, buy an extra set.

No luck finding new deals so we are going to try the coke tin/plastic bottle cleaning trick and see how that goes.

Thanks very much for all the comments.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
