Need fork seals/bushings in Chita or Ulan Ude
A friend is riding through Russia on a 2012 Super Tenere. Both fork seals blew out around Khabarovsk. I think he is somewhere between Svobodny and Chita.
Last year I was in Ulan Ude for 4 weeks,mostly waiting for a crankshaft to clear customs. I assume these seals and bushings would probably need to go through the same process. I don't want to see him wait as long as I did.
Hopefully the seals sizes can be found at a parts house. And possibly he could have the bushings made/machined if they are bad.
Something else I thought might work. If he gets to Ulan Ude, could his parts be shipped to the Oasis in Ulaanbaatar,Mongolia and possibly clear their customs faster. He could take the 10 hour bus ride down there and pick them up,then return to Ulan Ude for installation.
Any experienced thoughts on any of this?
