SID Wiper Seals

[rockhound]

Where can I get wiper seals for a 2000 SID XC with 2001 Judy lowers?

Does a 2001 Judy SL have the same wiper seals as a 2000 SID XC?

check out hippietech suspension. they bought out all of RS's old inventory, so if anyone's got it, they do.

Jumpin' Jerry's the man! He used to work for RS about the time they moved from San Jose to Colorado Springs (July 2000). He worked in the Warranty department, so he knows what's cross compatible.

Do your Judy lowers have the Triple X seal? The seal itself is a grayish color, whereas the older seals were black. The Triple X Seal also sits a bit higher out of the casting than the old seal. Also, if you push the seal up a bit out of the lower there is a white foam ring down in the fork, designed to hold heavy weight oil and lube the stanchions. The older seals do not have this. Before you pop the seal out of the lower, be sure you have a small zip-tie on hand to "burp" the seal as you push it back into the lower casting. You'll need to do this on the XXX seals, but not the old seal. Slide the zip tie between the seal and the stanchion so it creates a small opening allowing air to escape.
