Fork seal replacement cost
I hit a nasty pothole a while back and created a leak in my Forza's fork seal. It was leaking out the left side, so riding was not a problem while I waited for my appointment at Honda. A right side leak will drip onto the front tire and make safe riding impossible. So, yesterday I got the call from Honda telling me my bike was ready. Bottom line: $318.47 to replace the seal.

Shit. Assfucked there mate but I guess you already know. 50 cents for a seal. $10 max at Honda prices and an hour job at most. At least you don't have 20% VAT

A single pothole impact shouldn't cause seal failure, but you shouldn't have mentioned the pothole and got it sorted under warranty.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
