R1100 GS Fork Seals

[colin phillips]

My bike has a nearside fork seal leaking, can I replace the fork seal the same way as normal forks?
Can anybody advise on type and quantity of fork oil, thats if they have any!

For what it's worth.....

.... I rode my 1100 for several months without any oil in the forks after ice broke the seals... as they are mainly just guides - the main damping is done through the telelever shock. No change in handling.
As far as I know they're just the same as standard forks - no idea on quantities.
