SKF Black Showa 45mm Fork Seal Kit KITB-45S - Honda / Suzuki / Triumph 1989-2022

Note: Kit contents include one fork seal and one wiper. Must order 2 sets to service both forks. 2 Kits Needed.

Product Description

The SKF KITB-45S fork seal kit delivers reliable sealing performance and reduced stiction for Showa 45mm front suspension systems. Engineered with a self-lubricating black compound, this kit prevents oil leaks while keeping external contamination like dirt and road grime out of your inner fork tubes. Upgrading to a specialized low friction fork seal set reduces binding during suspension compression and rebound, helping your front tire follow terrain changes and road surfaces smoothly.

Formulated to withstand harsh off-road and street environments, these seals maintain dimensional stability when exposed to high oil temperatures and severe impacts. The single lip oil seal and wiper element feature precise internal dimensions (45mm x 57mm x 11.2mm) to provide a tight seal against standard Showa 45mm fork stanchions without placing excessive drag on the chrome sliders. Whether completing routine fork maintenance or rebuilding a worn front end, SKF components restore fluid control and consistent dampening action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does one package contain enough seals to service both fork legs?
A: No, each package contains one oil seal and one dust wiper for a single fork leg. You must purchase two kits to rebuild both front forks on your bike.

Q: What is the difference between SKF black seals and SKF green seals?
A: SKF black seals offer an OEM-style appearance while featuring SKF's low-friction self-lubricating compound for smooth fork action and reduced stiction compared to standard replacement seals.

Expert Pro-Tip: Always wrap thin plastic tape or a purpose-made seal bullet over the top edge of the inner fork tube and bushing grooves when sliding new fork seals into place. Unprotected metal edges and clip grooves can slice the internal rubber seal lip during installation, leading to immediate oil leaks once the fork is filled with fluid.
