This button is for a set of (2)
Bronze Fork Bushings w/ rubber dampers. Cost is $25.00 + $6.00
s&h shipping in the United States only, this will not get bushings to
Canada or anywhere else. Email me with questions. |
Attention, these work
with stock fork
lowers, or aftermarket legs that are the same
diameter.
Stock replacements are $10 each, or
$20 for a pair of injection molded plastic. Ours are precision machined
to keep front end wiggle to a minimum. I have stiff front springs and I put a
pair in my test bike (yes this is a biased review)
and they make the front end much more accurate in corners. I found that laid
over in corners and hard on the gas, I could search for a crease to get a good
bite, something I could never do with the sloppy stock front end.

These bad boys drastically improve the
feel of the front forks. Works great with most aftermarket and stock legs.
Precision machined from high quality bronze. |
If you want more than one pair of either of these, email me
at
info@50ccracing.com
and we can work out
cheaper shipping.
With these
bronze fork bushings get an added feature.
I'm sending a rubber washer to be placed on top of the bronze bushing, it will
go between it and the graphite slider (the collar that has the spring pin going
through it). This item is to reduce the clank when extending forks with heavy
duty fork springs. All forks with HD springs can benefit from them. If you want
to order just a pair of washers let me know and I'll get you a set for $2.00
Please note: If your fork are
trashed, then a new bushing won't save them. Trashed includes anything bent or
deformed, or if the chrome is all worn off your sliding fork lower. Since this
product is made to tighter tolerances than stock you can reduce some free play
in a trashed fork, but for sure not eliminate it.
These also work great with a brand new or a relatively new
front end to tighten it up. Your forks don't need to be old to benefit from
tighter tolerances.
Everything still moves nice and free, just gets rid of a
bunch of the wiggle. There will still be some wiggle, but not nearly what it was
before. You can't get rid of all the slop and still have the forks move up and
down. It's inherent in the design.

Installation procedure:
This really isn't too bad. Tools required are a 14mm wrench
for the top bolt, a 5/32" diameter pin punch, and a snap ring pliers to release
the internals. First of all, you put the bike up on a stand and remove the front
wheel. You won't need to remove the entire front end, just lay on your back and
remove the snap ring. After that's out, remove the top bolt and the fork guts
will slide right out. Take the guts assembly over to your vice and clamp
lightly on the graphite collar that is below the
spring. Punch out the spring pin and the fork comes apart. Slide off the old
plastic bushing and slide on the new. The rubber washer
goes between the bronze bushing and the graphite slider. Its a cushion that will
lessen the shock of the fork extending.
During reassembly remember to
put the graphite collar on the right way. The longer end goes up. Take note of
this and reassemble it properly. Also the spring pin needs to be punched in so
it's about 1/16" under the surface so that it contacts both sides of the fork
lower. Punch it in so it's centered in the fork leg.
Also remember to put the upper
and lower half back together the same way they came apart. There is a notch on
the top half that will need to go towards the middle of the bike when the guts
are put back up in the fork leg.

Bronze on the left, stock plastic on the right.

These pics are the old long bushings
that slammed when extending if you had stiff springs, I make them short now. |

remove this snap ring.... |

Assembled with bronze on the left, and stock plastic on the
right |
 |
then unscrew this 14mm bolt.... |
 |
The spring pin is in the collar just above the bushing. |
 |
and the the fork guts just fall right out. |
Look at the guts after you remove them and notice the notch
at the top, and its relationship to the tabs at the bottom. The arrangement is
that the notch at the top will go towards the middle of the bike when the fork
guard tapped holes on the fork lower are towards the outside.
If after installation your fork still
has a large amount of slop, replace your graphite top slider with an OEM
replacement. Those two items are what the fork lower rides on. The lower
bushings seem to wear out while the top graphite seems to hold up.
