Fork Rebuild Kit | 5W Fork Oil, Seals, Bumpers and Gaskets | /6 & /7 Airheads with oil

Fork Rebuild Kit for /6 & /7 Airheads 74-80 Except R65 including oil

Purchase this kit to completely overhaul and reseal leaking forks. Seals, bumpers, gaskets and oil are included..We also offer fork boots, and fork springs below.

Note: although the metal wiper rings for the damper rod pistons are also available, we have learned from decades of working on these forks that they generally do not need to be replaced. If you do replace them, there will be considerable drag on the piston, negatively effecting the responsiveness of the forks until they wear in.

On early models there was a soft bumper installed inside the spring loaded valve directly under the damper rod piston. This small bumper would deform and protrude from the valve causing it to stick open. This bumper was removed from the assembly by BMW during later production and is not needed or recommended.

Beemershop tech tip: The large gasket between the bottom fork leg cap and the fork leg can leak even when new unless you apply a good thread sealant to the gasket and lower threads of the lower cap such as Hylomar (which is now under the Permatex brand, item #85420, available at your local auto parts store). Then using a 36mm socket, torque the cap to 70 ft lbs (95 N/m)
