Fork Service Planned - Todays Silly Question

O/k I'm currently looking at preparing the XTR for the next BIG ride ... Darwin to Broome via the Gibb River Road then across the Tanami Desert Track to Alice Springs and back home to Melbourne

I've got a weeping fork seal and plan to get the forks serviced at the same time as well as upgrading the springs to Wilbers Linear units

Because of the general price gouging by Yamaha Australia I'm planning to put together a "service kit" ex the UK ... damn you Yamaha now if you would only sell the 660 range in the States life could be a lot easier

Now I understand that I will need replacement oil and dust seals ... but what's the likelyhood I would have to (or would it generally be recommended to) replace the fork bushings while I have the forks apart
