Fork Seals / Dust covers - 1973 CT3 175 was created by 1badmopar
Hello,
I just joined the forum. Starting my restoration of a 1973 CT3 175 that I purchased yesterday.
Can anyone tell me where is the best place to locate fork seals and dust boots for the '73 CT3. Seeing them for a '74 DT175, but not the '73 CT3? Not sure if they are the same or not?
Thanks in advance!

A good start when looking for any part is to go to the Partzilla or CMSNL websites, follow your nose to your model, then to the individual part. Both sites will show the current part number, and maybe the old if there has been a supersession (change of number). They will also show which other models used that part.
You can then search for that part via this site, your local dealer, ebay etc.
Good luck!

Searching this forum... make sure to use the "Forums" button to get there... don't use the general search that looks at the whole Internet... will often get you great answers.
In this case current Suzuki part number 51173-25010 is a replacement for the boots on an AT/CT.
