So I went to take my bike in to work so I could do the brake caliper rebuild with new seals when I noticed that the front left fork was leaking. It would have been nice to find this two weeks ago before everyone was taking their bikes in for tune ups but I did happen to find a good very local mechanic. He agreed to see me (when he can) but we met up today and he made some parts suggestions for me to order. I was hoping to run this by you guys to make sure I am not missing anything or you have alternative recommendations. First the pictures:
I already got all the parts for the brakes and here is what he told me to order for the forks:
What do you fine folks think? For tires (if you recommend changing them) I was thinking Pilot Road 4's - thoughts, opinions, rants, etc welcome.
Thanks in advance.

- Fork Seals
- Dust Caps (wipers)
- Bolts for Fork Slider to Damper
- Oil <--- Any suggestions here on what weight? I do have racetechs in the forks?
- Tires - He also suggested new tires after asking how many miles I planned to ride this season (The date on the rear is 01/08)
