1997 Kona Kilauea - Special Edition ?

Re:

Kilauea was getting jealous, had her out tonight. I've been spending a lot of time with the new Explosif. After rising the rigid explosif I really notice how plush the Z2s are on this Kilauea

Re:

My right side stanchion is leaking oil now.

What do I need to replace ? Top end dust and oil seal and the oil bath itself ?

I have another z2 fork that has the same problem. Take the gold one from there or is it not worth it?

I think I'm going to send it back to Mark's fork repair recommended but Alasdair on here to have it professionally done. Then it should be good for another 23 years.
 
Re:

A little winter update on this bike. The fork is indeed packaged up and going to be sent to Mark's for a full overhaul this week.

I have decided to make this bike my "mountain bike" As I am going to sell my 2010 cinder cone likely.

I am putting those cinder cone continental trail king tires onto the Kilauea and removed the fairly slick Kendas that were on there.


 
Re:

Forks are back from Mark and very happy. This thing is ready to get back to the trails as opposed the gravel and light singletrack its seen the last couple of summers
