    Hey guys! New Here!

    I'm doing a restoration on my father's GSX 250T 83', and I want to rebuild the front forks.
    Nothing fancy, just new oil & dust seals.

    My problem is that there are a lot of variations on the GSX 250s and i cannot find the right parts for my model.

    After a lot of research i have found that seals with the size of 33x46x11mm are found on a lot of 250cc twins like GS 250 TT/TX, GN250, even GS300L.

    Does anyone have a clue that could help?

    I have attached 2 pictures, one of the original bike, and mine!

    Thanks!

    Welcome.
    Lift the dust caps up and measure the fork diameter and the outer diameter of the seals in the sliders. This should be the sizes you mentioned above.
