Hey guys,

I want to triple verify that the fork seals go in with the letters facing out as shown in this picture...

Image

not installed like the seal on the left.

I can't seem to find a picture of this anywhere including the 3 shop manuals that I have.
I'm fairly confident, but I stared at these things for a while yesterday and decided to post and ask, then do it the wrong way!!

sorry for the silly question-- THANKS in advance for your time!

Yes, you have it correct. The side that you can see the spring in goes inside. That way internal pressure tends to make the seal lip press harder on the fork tube.
