The final drive pinion seal on my '04 K1200GT has been leaking for some time, and it's been pretty minor and manageable. Periodically, I peel back the FD boot and inspect the state of things inside, looking for FD and/or transmission gear oil. I run two different color gear oils in the FD and tranny, so I can tell where any leakage has come from.
It's time to do the 24k service and I'll pull the wheels, too, to get new tires while I'm at it. This is a good time to inspect and clean inside the FD boot.
Question: another MOA member mentioned several years ago that the zip ties holding the FD boot in place are available in a version with stainless steel tabs (see below).
Does anyone know where to source these? I can't find them anywhere.
