He needs the seal or the seal reference to source an alternative.
I've just been onto him for the clutch seal details but his wife informs me he's out on the drink - this being the North East and bearing in mind its pissing down he'll be wandering around Newcastle in a tee shirt as I type.

Would a KTM part number be any good?

Could do - post the details and I'll pass them on

KTM part number for the front brake seals on our bikes is 58713021000.

They're Brembo parts, but a KTM part number - crazy, I know...

The seal number is SU 28 – 20.5 – 4.2 – DE – EPDM – DK 105
I assume the numbers in bold are the outside diameter, inside diameter and depth respectively. EPDM is the material (necessary for clutch fluid).
The company which supplied them is Fluidpower at the address below.
He couldn’t do anything with the KTM part number unfortunately but if anyone wants to post me a relatively undamaged seal he can measure it and try to source a replacement.
P.S. The new seal has been fitted and works fine. It cost £2.10

..... just don't try "Aprilia Forum" on Google and hope to find us within the first few pages .... last time I tried that, the first result for this forum was at the bottom of the 3rd page of results - Nooj complaining on here that he couldn't register on the Club Aprilia Forum.
The next link for this forum (to the ApriliaRidersite Index) came in on page 8.
We were even coming in below other brands' forums that had threads where Aprilias were mentioned.

Discovered plenty of other sites with just a mere handful of threads or even ones where you needed to sign up to see anything at all (pointless as who is going to sign up to a forum you've never been able to look at?)

Anyone any idea how we boost our profile?

As far as I know it's a keyword thing written into the html of the website (it's a long, long, long time since I made a website, so don't ask me

)

I thought Kwackerz had had a go at this, one way was to make the forum "open" so people can browse in from search engines, without having to register to view the posts?

Had a go at searching "Aprilia Forum" - like Andy says, we're nowhere to be seen, unless you narrow the search to "pages from the UK" - and even then we're 6th

Even using "Aprilia Falco Forum" sees us down the list on a global search

Yeh, I think so, doesn't seem to be doing much for our Google rankings though
