Does anyone have a source for shock seals for 74 cr125 rear shocks(360 showa)? I have found rotary style seals but no proper hydraulic axial seals.
Thanks, Brad.

Thanks M@tt. How are you installing cup seals into the seal head? Do you machine it first? The 360 Showas are a 12.5mm shaft. I can find cup seals the right size but was looking for standard metal cased seals. I would be happy to use hyd cup seals. Just not sure how to install them into existing seal head.

Hey

The 12.5mm are for the ‘75 shocks , also available at 123bearings
No need to machine , the seals were a perfect replacement for the originals and pressed in.
I think Holly in Japan lists the original Honda seals and some metal cased replacements . (Hollyequip.com) use a translation tool

Unless I wasn't searching properly I could only find the 24mm outer dia. size for 12.5mm shaft on 123bearing.com. Holly advertised a conversion kit for finned res. shocks for over $100. The other 12.5mm seals are for a 1980 CR250 I think.(which was kinda nice cause I was looking for those too!!).
