Dose anyone work on dirt bikes? More specifically know how to change the fork seals.(A link to a write up maybe) Is there any honda-tech like dirt bike forums out there?
Are they inverted forks? If so, this link should explain it fairly well. And it's a video, so you don't have to read anything.

Simple process. While your in there, you may want to consider respringin the forks depending on your weight and riding style.

racetech.com has some good info also.
big thing is dont try to cheese on special tools, get em or let someone with them do it, broken parts in inverted forks are expensive and i see it all the time.
something else to keep in mind is to follow the directions carefully pertaining to setting fluid levels and bleeding air from the cartridges.
good luck hope this helps a little

if you have to cheap you can use pvc pipe and the old fork seal as a barrier to press it down instead of the special tool, just have an extra fork seal there just in case...
