Motorcycle Fork Tube Aftermarket Seal Kits
Dust Seals (also called wipers) are the only part you can see from the outside once the forks are rebuilt. They keep dirt & grit out of the suspension so it can't score up the chrome and wreck that smooth sliding. Oil Seals are the softer viton rubber rings that sit underneath, usually featuring a tiny thin spring all around the edge to help squeeze the lip onto the inside fork tube evenly. They stop the precious lubricants leaking out & leaving metal to grind on metal. They are fragile, so should be hammered home carefully during a rebuild to avoid twisting or kinking of the lips - try a fork seal driver kit.
Motorbike front forks need regular servicing to replace worn parts - these combined seal & wiper kits from performance aftermarket brands All Balls & Italian giant Ariete fit between your upper & lower fork casing tubes, protecting everything inside - especially the teflon coated bushings.

If you're a competent DIY garage tuner, check out our complete fork rebuild kits where you get a full set of seals, wipers, inner & outer ring bushes, along with some assembly grease - but if you're not up to it, Teknik Motorsport also offers a 3 month warranty on the fork seals we install at our workshop.
We recommend looking at our Fork Performance Parts section to find mud scrapers & tube protection covers if you regularly spend time offroad - but the best & cheapest thing you can do for your bike's suspension? Pressure wash it properly when you get home from riding! If the grit & dirt can't cake & dry on there to begin with, those seals don't get ripped up, that chrome doesn't pit, so none of it needs to be rebuilt as often.
