The Showa genuine Ø16 rod (257 mm length) is a precision internal component used in motorcycle suspension assemblies. Accurate rod condition and finish are critical to maintaining consistent fork operation, as surface quality directly influences seal performance, friction characteristics and overall damping consistency.
