Are you looking for somewhere to purchase a set of seals??  I recently bought a set of seals for a 2013 S with the FastAce forks. Let me know if info on where to buy these seals would be of help.

Not sure if that model already has the showa suspension, if so you might want to look here:

On the unofficial manual theres also a hint to those fork sealing tools, tho i have never tried one of those.

The Fastace forks for 2013 were 38mm, an Ebay search gives some options with dimensions. If you can pull the old ones of and try to match them up.
I don't know if the triple clamp can be replaced to take the Showa forks on the newer models or not.  If your in the CA area Hollywood Electrics may have some options for you.

Good luck and if you find a better fix please post it here, I have one too.  :)

I have a set of 38mm oil and dust seals that I got from Zero that you could have. It took Zero a while to get them but eventually they came through. Or check out this link. I think these are the correct size. Contact me directly with any questions. jondherron@verizon.net
