Wilbers forksprings for Honda VT 500 C 83-

Product details

Wilbers forkspring set, progressive, for Honda VT 500 C, type PC 08, model year 83- (forkoil please order separately), with ABE according to the application list

General description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers progressive or linear forksprings, manufactured from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. For touring and touring-sport, we generally recommend a progressive forkspring to optimise the response characteristics and, on the other hand, to increase bottoming resistance. Very important is the combination of "Zero Friction" forksprings with the specially developed Wilbers forkoil, as well as observing the correct air chamber for the respective vehicle. If desired, an individual tuning can be achieved in special cases by changing the air chamber.
For motorsport applications, we recommend the very light linear chrome-silicon forksprings from Wilbers, which were co-developed by the motorsport team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through vibratory finishing:
During vibratory finishing, the workpieces to be processed, such as Wilbers forksprings, are located together with an abrasive body specially adapted for this purpose in a vibrating container, the so-called trough vibrator.
The vibrations of the container generate a relative movement between the workpiece and the abrasive body and lead to a smoothing of the workpiece surface through constant rubbing against each other. At the end of the process, a fine, shiny surface is achieved.
For Wilbers forksprings, this reduction in surface roughness means a minimisation of friction = ZERO friction.

Each forkspring set includes a recommendation regarding the viscosity of the forkoil and the height of the air chamber 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 forkoil separately.
