86943km

Huge difference!

The new seals aren't leaking, and there is actually oil present in the forks =)

The change from 5w oil to 15w oil made the forks stiffer, and improved on handling quite a bit.
The mechanic also changed the front wheel bearings, which removed a little vibration and some noice.

All in all it cost 2935,- NOK ($474), but worth it!

To-do:
  • Change fork seals and oil
  • Fix indicators
  • Buy and mount new top box with break light
  • Change locks in Givi bags
Also took a trip to the cabin in sweden. It is a 320KM round trip. She is great on longer hauls, and I had no need for a break to rest my back. Millage was approx 0,5l/10km.
 
I was greeted at the cabin by someone special, who saw me comming on the bike and said "Daddy? UUUUUP!!!" - I guess someone enjoys sitting on daddy's bike =)
