Wilbers fork springs for HD Electra Glide FLHTC 84-

Product Details

Wilbers fork spring kit, progressive, for Harley-Davidson Electra Glide FLHTC, type FLT, model year 1984-1998 (fork oil to be ordered separately)

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, we generally recommend a progressive fork spring to optimise responsiveness and, on the other hand, to increase bottoming reserves. Crucially important is the combination of the 'Zero Friction' fork springs with the specially developed Wilbers fork oil, as well as observing the correct air gap for the corresponding vehicle. If desired, in special cases, individual tuning can be achieved by changing the air gap.
For motorsport applications, we recommend Wilbers' very light linear chrome-silicon fork springs, which were co-developed with the motorsport team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through tumble finishing:
During tumble finishing, the component to be processed, such as Wilbers fork springs, are placed together with an abrasive media specially adapted 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 against each other. At the end of the process, a fine, polished 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 gap height in the fork. These values have been determined by experienced Wilbers technicians and ensure optimal riding comfort and feedback at the front wheel.

Note: please order the fork oil separately.
