1981 Honda CB400TB Hawk · Fork Seals & Dust Boots Buying guide
The oil seal retains fork oil; the dust boot covers the top of the slider. Compare both locations and the condition of the fork tubes when assembling a sensible fork-service order.
The oil seal and dust boot are separate items in Honda’s 1981 fork diagram. A split or hardened boot deserves attention even when the oil seal is the reason for the repair. Check the tube surfaces and other fork components under the service manual’s inspection guidance.
The original 1981 forks have an air connection at the caps. Those caps are under air and spring pressure, so consult the specific Honda procedure before opening them. The featured seals and boots do not constitute every sealing part used in the fork assembly.
Yes. The dust boot set contains two 33 mm boots and references Honda 91254-413-881, matching the original two fork legs. Compare the fitted fork if the front end has been changed.
The boot and oil seal occupy different positions and have different functions. If fork oil is leaking, inspect the oil seal, tube and related components; changing only the external boot does not replace the oil seal.
Identify the fitted fork and measure the old seal dimensions before ordering. The 33 × 46 × 11 mm oil seal and 33 mm boots are supported for the original 1981 CB400T fork, not every replacement front end.
