thats a good hack. Did you have to cut the card to a specific shape?I got a leaky fork seal on a big ride to Alaska, as did my buddy on his Africa Twin. I used an old business card to clean out the fork seals, it's what I had. His seals leaked again after a few thousand miles and mine were still holding. We used another business card on his, and that fixed them up and he's never had another issue.
Mine started leaking again after the trip, I tried to clean them and they got worse. I changed the seals and installed the seal savers. I had some noticeable wear on the fork bushings and really need to do another service on them and replace the bushings. If you're doing the seals, just order the bushings as well!
I just round it out around the fork leg so it fits closely to the contour, pull the exterior dust seal down a few inches so you can access the seal, slowly work a corner of the card under the fork seal and then work it around the diameter of the fork leg.thats a good hack.

I'm going to order a set of the Shock Sox for my S10. What size did you find works best? I was going to order the 6" for 37 to 50mm size. My bike is currently 1k miles away so I can't look at it for reference.I am a big fan of brand Shock Sox fork covers, but you can't just install them and forget about them.
I like the velcro because I can quickly take them off and wash them out in soapy water, dry them and then reinstall.
My Shock Sox happen to be 6 inch, have no idea if there the ideal size but been using them without any leaks for about 64,000 miles. I do take them off a couple times per year for a good wash and dry.I'm going to order a set of the Shock Sox for my S10. What size did you find works best?
