Where to get fork seals replaced?

[ilikefood]

So it turns out that my bike blew the fork seal in the left fork leg, spilling fork oil all over my boot and the brake caliper. I need to get the fork seal replaced ASAP, because the bike is my daily 60-mile-roundtrip commuter. I'm in SF. What's my best option for getting that done quickly (like, over the weekend)? Munroe Motors? I've heard great things about Superplush (and it's near me). Any other options I should be thinking about? The bike is a '09 Multistrada 1100S.

Evolution Motorcycles. They're BARF supporters and I've heard nothing but good things about their suspension work.

EDIT: Might be a bit far, but if you've got a car (or caltrains access), I think they're worth it.

No opinion on a shop, but if it was all over the caliper you should probably check the pads for oil contamination too.

SP isn't open on the weekends, don't carry much stock and are usually booked out a few weeks.

I've found most places do not stock fork seals and they usually take a week or so to arrive.

Superplush will squeeze you in, James is a very cool dude and extremely reasonably priced. They do carry some seals in stock, but 2 days tops to get them.

SP is good but I think you need to bring them just the forks, not the bike.

They charge more if you bring the bike, I forget the fee, but they prefer forks not bikes.

Oh yeah, the pads definitely will be replaced. I can do that myself, I just can't easily pull the forks out to do the fork seals.

I got in touch with Superplush, I'll bring in the bike on Monday evening. So just 2 more days of 60-mile (round trip) commute on my DRZ.
