You can get the "viton" seals for less than the the cost of standard Honda seals.
They will out perform most any other seal.

91203-KAE-003 main bearing oil seal generator side £17.84 +vat

where did you get your prices from ??

Mine were from Leisure Trail Inc VAT so O.E.M
I used to shop around especially with bearings but to be fair I thought the O.E.M prices weren't too bad

Here's a reference that I use to look up the TC equivalent oil seal;

all you need to do is measure the shaft diameter or seal ID, the housing diameter or seal OD and the thickness.

The TC part number is then commonly available and much cheaper than the Honda part.

Cheers for that bud
