After waking the Vulcan up from it's long winter's nap, I noticed the dust seals on the front forks are cracked. I do not see any fluid so I think the fork seals themselves are ok, it just appears to be the dust seals. It is an '07 with just under 4000 miles. I just bought it in August and dont recall seeing this when I put her in storage in early november. First thing, is this something easy enough for a do it yourselfer? I change my own oil, plugs, and such. Secondly, should I go ahead and replace the seals in the process? Thirdly, would storing the bike in an un-heated barn be the culprit here? Anything else I should check?

Thanks in advance!!

Bill.
