Wilbers fork springs for BMW R 65 78-84

Product Details

Wilbers fork spring set, progressive, for BMW R 65, type BMW 248, model year 78-84 (fork oil to be ordered separately), with ABE according to the 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 sport touring, we generally recommend a progressive fork spring to optimise responsiveness and, on the other hand, to increase bottoming resistance. Crucially, combine the "Zero Friction" fork springs with the specially developed Wilbers fork oil and ensure the correct air chamber for the respective corresponding vehicle. If desired, in special cases, individual tuning can be achieved by changing the air chamber.
For motorsport applications, we recommend Wilbers' very lightweight linear chrome-silicon fork springs, which were co-developed by the motorsport team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through mass finishing:
During mass finishing, the component to be processed, such as Wilbers fork springs, are placed together with a specially adapted grinding media in a vibrating container, known as a trough vibrator.
The vibrations of the container create relative movement between the workpiece and the grinding media, and the constant rubbing together leads to a smoothing of the componentupper surface. At the end of the process, a fine, glossy surface is achieved.
For Wilbers fork springs, this reduction in surface roughness means a minimisation of friction = ZERO friction.

Each fork spring set 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 optimal riding comfort and feedback on the front wheel.

Note: please order the fork oil separately.
