Numerous comments here at DSN supports Brents comments, eh! Nothing better out there for the KLR than the OEM seal. I blew out a set in 08 and replaced them with KHI, OEM seals as per list wisdom. I believe I reused the wiper seal. IRT to the wiper seals, you could go either way on those. If they are still visually in good shape without cuts or tears, that are reusable. On the other hand, it is hard to go wrong by replacing both at the same time, unless you dork them up on installation. Something nobody here has ever done. cough. revmaaatin.
