I've just had my Shadow fork seals replaced (Honda dealer), and I notice faint oil rings after every time I ride. Should I expect this, and if so, is it enough to just wipe them clean regularly? Anything else I should be doing? Thanks.

It does happen very often to all kinds of bikes but the second I see oil on a fork leg my seals get replaced. Be especially careful if you are leaking on the same side as your front disc.

It's common but not acceptable, give them a few days as fork oil will tend to swell the seals a bit.
If the seals are still sweating after a few days ,you should have the shop re-do them.

yes it is normal , the rubber needs a bit of oil to make its seal and some comes off , keep on wiping .

No it's not exceptable. They're called seals for a reason. They not suppose to leak at all. Take it back.
