labor wise, you wont find much cheaper, you might find some shops that do it for 150 BUT the biggest question and concern I would have is how much experience these shops have messing with suspensions.

of course you are going to pay a lil more for parts at Barneys, I would try to find some online and take with, but then again, you really have to know what you are buying because some are no better that the ones you are replacing (meaning they will continue to leak) so you might be better off replacing with OEM materials.


also, while you still have possession of your bike(before taking it to a shop, inspect the forks themselves, check to see if you have any dings or chips caused by gravel and take pictures. if you have dings or chips, thats what caused yout seals to leak and you will have to remove the problem before fixing the seals.
the pictures might come in handy if whoever you decide does the work comes back and tries to tell you you have other problems cuasing the seals to leak - or the bike has been sitting too long - or you need to learn how to come down off a wheelie

best of luck to ya.
