Hello Rob, just my opinion, if you’re not handy with the spanners, take the forks out and drop them to a suspension specialist for a service and new seals/bushes. One of those “do it properly once” jobs. This place in Pontypridd looks and sounds well capable. https://moto-pro.co.uk/

Forks out is an easy and straightforward job. All torque settings are in my post in the relevant forum page. 45 mins out, same back in.

Note, I have no allegiance to that shop and take no responsibility for their work. But I’d let them do my forks if I was local.

I’m not 100% confident on which parts to advise, but have linked to the Gen1 forks fiche. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can advise. I think number 5 are the bushes, you’d need one per leg. Note, I think.
In my experience, suspension specialist have stocks of various seals and bushes and may have suitable items.

Thanks for this Boris, I had no idea there was a suspension specialist so close!
