I ordered fork seals from 4into1.com based on my bike's year/model but they're the wrong seals, for sure.
I've submitted photos of my fork's internals in hopes that someone can help me ID them so I can get the correct fork seals.
My bike is a '73 CB500 K2

After watching videos, and spending significant time staring at the problem, I determined that my seals were SO WRECKED, that the rubber had mostly deteriorated and what was left is a metal piece that inside of the seal. I used a heat gun to melt the plastic and pried out the metal insert. What I have, is in fact the right seal.
