Get some thin plastic (old gift card) and cut the largest sickle shape you can lengthwise. 

Remove the wiper at the bottom of the upper leg using backside of the sickle. Working slowly. 

Once removed, force sickle under fork seal. Rotate around inner tube several times. Oil will be coming out heavily. Don’t worry about that. 

Slowly removed sickle while rotating around tube, under seal

clean up excess oil. Replace wiper. 

Bet it stops leaking

It will make it home. 60k miles on original seals time to replace anyway.

What I descbribed takes literally 10 min and stops the leaks 80% of the time. 

Go ahead and let it leak and get your pads soaked or some shit. 

Like I care 

The towel is on there as a precaution, it's  honestly not leaking that bad. I would worry more about fucking with it and making it worse then I would really be fucked on the road.

Love ya man I know your trying help.

True story 

I blew mine with 30k+ miles.  After that, I became much more careful about keeping the front end on the ground.  600+ lb. bikes aren't meant to have their front wheels off the ground.  Travel safe guys!  I wish I could have made the trip!
