Why Choose This Complete Fork Rebuild Kit?
A standard fork service normally replaces the oil and seals, but worn guide and slide bushes can still cause excess play, increased friction and reduced suspension performance. This Showa 49mm Complete Fork Rebuild Kit replaces the major service and wear components together, helping restore smooth fork operation, improve front-end feel and maintain consistent suspension performance. With K-Tech fork seals, bushes and 5W Fork Oil included, the essential components are supplied together in one convenient package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kit rebuild both fork legs?
Yes. The kit includes two K-Tech Fork Seal Kits, K-Tech guide bushes, K-Tech slide bushes and 1 litre of K-Tech 5W Fork Oil for rebuilding both fork legs.
Will this kit fit my motorcycle?
This rebuild kit is designed for the Honda, Kawasaki and Ducati models listed above that are fitted with compatible Showa 49mm front forks. Please check your model and year against the fitment list before ordering.
What is the difference between a fork service kit and a complete fork rebuild kit?
A standard fork service kit normally includes fork seals and oil. This complete rebuild kit also includes the guide and slide bushes, making it ideal for a more comprehensive fork overhaul where the main internal wear components are being renewed.
When should Showa 49mm fork bushes be replaced?
Fork bushes should be inspected during servicing and replaced if there is visible coating wear, excessive play or increased friction. Worn bushes can reduce fork sensitivity and contribute to premature wear of other suspension components.
Why replace the seals, bushes and oil together?
Replacing the main service and wear components at the same time provides a more complete overhaul of the fork. Fresh seals, bushes and oil help restore smooth operation, correct excessive play and maintain consistent suspension performance.
