I have a set of forks from a '75 that are showing signs of leaking. The bike has low miles on it but has at for years and years. Assuming all the hard parts are fine, what would you replace as far as seals, washers o-rings, etc? I'm trrying to get up a complete list of stuff I need before placing an order.

Seals and dust covers for sure. The clips that hold the washer and seals in should be ok. You can change them if you want.
The sealing washers on the bottom bolts might be ok, if not expensive then change them.

Why change dust covers? They look OK, too. Will I damage them when I remove them to do the seals or ???

If they are good use them. I just thought yours may be cracked, a lot are.
