I rebuilt my steering damper today, I wasn't able to get new seals, so reused the old ones and used fresh 2.5W oil. It's cured the inconsistent movement, but will have to wait and see how it goes with the reused seals. It may only be temporary (which means i'll be forced to invest in a hyper pro - how terrible).
I was able to find seals with the same inner and outer Diameter, unfortunately they were just too thick. (New on the left, old on the right)
And to keep myself busy I removed the studs and power valves from the cylinders, fairly easy job, I expected them to be much more stubborn. I measure the ring gaps on the piston/rings that came out of the cylinders and got .045-0.5mm on the top ring and 0.40-0.45 on the bottom ring. Cylinders themselves look to be in pretty good nick, and i will prep these to go back in (but i'll wait until i've compared them to the cylinders on the bike when it arrives before assembling the power valves).

Questions:
What do you think of the cylinder condition from the pictures, and
What is the best way to clean up the valves space inside the cylinder (soup)?[/img]
