Motorcycle Suspension Shaft Slide Collars

Slide Collars

Rebuildable motorcycle suspensions rely on small but critical components — slide collars, teflon lined shaft collars, acetal rod bushes, locknuts, tiny mid-speed valve (also called refill or non-return) springs and rubber o-rings — to keep fork legs and rear shock absorbers running with low friction and correct alignment during servicing and tuning.

Where slide collars and rod bushes are used

  • Hold sliding tubes concentric without excessive friction
  • Keep adjuster pushrods centred inside damper rods
  • Seal oil and gas pressure with o-rings and retainers
  • Essential wear parts replaced every rebuild for consistent damping

Recommended Pairings

Consider matching slide collars with Shock Shaft Bush, valving shims and our Suspension Tools. See valving kits: Valving Shims and read our Shim Factor Calculator, guidance on lock nuts and fasteners or the suspension fluid weights table.
