got them installed on a bike in the corner, does not move... and will not. The fork seals are blown out of them. Been like that since the first 10 minutes of riding.



Oh ya, good luck getting seals.. they justa re a pile of metal on one bike... i even have three sets on the wall....... and ya i dont sell those either. I sell a billion bombshell set ups compared ot one spped fork

The folks at FAst50's are good people... surely they can address the problem with the fork seals. Have you had any luck contacting them? I hear that their forks pop seal all the time... is that hit or miss... or are all of there forks poping seals.

They are currently re-designing the fork, hopefully they will fix this problem.
