Okay, then pull the forks out/off yourself and hand deliever them to a dealer you trust. They should be able to take them apart without scratching or damaging the finish. Also I would recommend when you are talking to the service writer/advisor, that you offer an extra half hour of billed time so the tech does not have to rush because the book says it can be done in 20 mins. lol. Better yet, just tell him you will pay either book or clock time which ever is greater. This should almost guaranty a nice job. Then show them your apprietiation with a half sac or dozen cold ones. You will be the customer of the month, if not the year!

If your just doing the seals, any bike shop can do that easy. Just drop the forks & take them to your favorite shop/moto-x shops are the cheapest; & many are VERY experienced doing this constantly on moto-x bikes.
OR:
One of these places; I've had great service at BOTH.

Aftershocks last winter just did a rebuild/revalve/respring my front end on the ZRX, & it's AWESOME NOW! Much better than I had it before...
FWIW, IMHO....ebd

Here is an old write up I made. It isin't about removing the seals - only oil but when You're there the seals aren't a problem.
