Title: Fork rebuild kits
Post by: Bob on Saturday, 07 September 2019, 05:50 AM
What's recommended as the one to get, All Balls seams very cheap but is it nasty with it?

From all accounts on here Bob, All Balls gear is good quality.  Think even Andre buys from them.

Yes, even Andre buys from them.  :whatever:

I rebuild with their kit and no complaints.

Haven't had any issues with All Balls and Tourmax parts.

What Andre said (as usual).

I've just rebuilt mine with All Balls kit because my new OEM Suzuki fork seals sprung a leak on one side after only 18 months. Got a kit that included seals, bushes, spring clips and dust seals for about £40 on eBay. So far so good.

One interesting thing is that the dust seals look like a better design than the OEM parts. They have a spring round them to keep them tight. I reckon some grit got in and messed up my old ones so this might be a good thing.

I will be rebuilding or having rebuilt my forks at the end of this season. Has anyone used Brooks in Bradford please ?

I can vouch for all balls racing fork seals Simon, used them on my Speed Triple and they fitted perfectly.  I have not used Brooks myself but they do have a good rep.
