ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

Engineered to meet exact OEM dimensions, these bushings eliminate friction points within the 41mm fork legs to ensure consistent damping response. The precision manufacturing process minimizes internal variance, which helps prevent scoring on the fork tubes and extends the service life of fork seals.

WHY HARLEY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS

Riders rely on these bushings because they address hidden wear inside the front suspension that causes harsh steering and uneven tire wear. The Japanese precision manufacturing guarantees tight clearances without binding, allowing the forks to flex freely while maintaining stability under braking and through corners. By keeping the fork slides free of scoring and extending fork seal life, this component offers long-term reliability for touring mileage and weekend rides alike. It serves as a critical maintenance item to preserve the intended feel of a Harley's 41mm front end.
