Wilbers fork springs for BMW R 100 GS 88-

Product details

Wilbers fork spring set, progressive, for BMW R 100 GS, type BMW 247 E, model year 88-, for cartridge forks, (fork oil must be ordered separately), with ABE according to application list

General description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers progressive or linear fork springs, manufactured from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. For touring and touring-sport use, we generally recommend a progressive fork spring to optimise responsiveness and increase bottoming resistance. Crucially, combine "Zero Friction" fork springs with the specially developed Wilbers fork oil and observe the correct air chamber for the corresponding vehicle. If desired, individual tuning can be achieved in special cases by changing the air chamber.
For motorsport applications, we recommend the very light linear chrome-silicon fork springs from Wilbers, which were co-developed with the motorsport team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through vibratory finishing:
During vibratory finishing, the component to be processed, such as Wilbers fork springs, are placed together with an abrasive media specifically tailored for this purpose in a vibrating container, known as a trough vibrator.
The vibrations of the container create a relative movement between the workpiece and the abrasive media, leading to a smoothing of the componentupper surface through constant rubbing. At the end of the process, a fine, gleaming surface is achieved.
For Wilbers fork springs, this reduction in surface roughness means minimising friction = ZERO friction.

Each set of fork springs includes a recommendation for the viscosity of the fork oil and the air chamber height in the fork. These values have been determined by experienced Wilbers technicians and ensure optimum riding comfort and feedback at the front wheel.

Note: please order the fork oil separately.
