Difference in fork seals between '97 and '98?

Ahoy!

First off, I suppose I should just say: DONT use pyramid parts if you would like to have correct parts shipped to you. There is a very sad RS250 sitting in my garage with no front forks and Pyramid Parts shipping the wrong parts is not helping :evil:

This got me a little paranoid though, as I've also order some oil/dust seals for my TRX. The seals appear to be the right size for the bike and are marked with 41X53X8/10.5 double spring seals (1998 onwards i believe). My bike is a '97, which was OEMed with 41X53X8/9.5 if I remember correctly. If memory serves me right, the forks didn't change between the years, so the 41X53X8/10.5 seals listed for 1998 onwards should be sweet in my '97 forks, right? The less I have to deal with sending parts backwards and forward the happier I will be #-o

When it comes to fork seals,I always use genuine manufacturer items. Strangely though,I'm quite happy to fit pattern oil filters :)

Yea, I'm starting to get that. I've had good experiences with All Balls kit on most of the bikes I've owned or rebuilt, they just don't do a seal kit for the TRX :-(

I guess the real question was - Is there any difference in TRX forks between 1997 and 1998?
