ARE THESE THE BEST FORK BUSHINGS TO BUY? WILL THEY GET RID OF ALL OF MY SLOP IN MY FRONT FORKS? ALSO DO THESE STIFFENORS HELP OR JUST JUNK? ANY INSTALL HELP WOULD ALSO BE APPRECIATED. THANKS

I bought that kit he sells and it did remove 95% of the slop. The istall took about 30 minutes taking my time.

Remove the top bolt, then the collar and slide the unit out. Drive the pin out near the spring with a punch add new bushings, and stiffners, the reverse the procedure. Also cleaned the springs and add new grease.

Easy project and I like the quality I seen in the product. Cant say how they will hold up as mine are only three weeks old now.

do you need the stiffenors for just wheelies? Do they make noise?

MRimmer · 05-13-2007, 05:25 PM

I got them because I am 220 lbs and they do not make any noise that I hear.

so you think they are worth it? Do they squeak anymore? What grease did you use?

MRimmer · 05-14-2007, 09:29 AM

I am no expert but I think they are a good buy. Mine do not squeak at all and I used the honda fork grease from the local dealer.
