Installation Öhlins FKS 520 fork cartridge

Öhlins 30 mm cartridge for the original fork of the Thruxton 1200 R / RS / FE There is finally a remedy for the very unpopular big-piston technology of the original fork! The standard fork is far too tightly tuned ex works and completely overdamped. It is extremely stiff and uncomfortable. This does not give a good feeling to the front wheel. We also offer a modification of the fork set-up (see other article), which improves the fork considerably, but if you want perfect response and the best damping characteristics, you should definitely go for this cartridge conversion! The difference is really big. We are very convinced. It's simply unbelievable how much confidence you gain in the front and how nicely you can turn in with it. Of course we ride this kit in our own Thruxton!!!   Fully adjustable: spring preload, rebound and compression. This makes the front suspension just as it should be. We have the right spring rate for every weight class. Significantly better and finer response behavior. This means more feedback and performance, but also significantly more comfort! Where it previously rattled, you now glide over it!A must for anyone who values a really well-functioning suspension. Installation instructions are included with the kit. Installation is a little more time-consuming. Special tools are required and you should have specialist knowledge of suspension technology! We are happy to carry out the conversion in our own Öhlins Service Center. Please order the additional article “Einabu Öhlins FKS fork cartridge Thruxton 1200 R / RS” (see accessories in this description) - Öhlins fork springs are also required (see accessories in this description). - Öhlins fork oil is also required (see accessories in this description). - New oil seals are required. We use the best SKF oil seals for this conversion (see accessories in this description). The fork cartridge is supplied with an ABE (general operating permit). This means that it can simply be installed and does NOT have to be registered with the TÜV.   Tip: If you are thinking about black outer tubes or black fork legs for your fork, you should take the opportunity to have this done at the same time (see accessories in this description).
