Hi ! Does anyone know what part # SKF seal kit is under that will fit our forks? Thanks.
If you want just the oil seal it is OSB 43K, If you want the kit with one dust and one oil then it is KITB-43K.Paul466 said:Hi ! Does anyone know what part # SKF seal kit is under that will fit our forks? Thanks.
Agreed. I run SKFs on my xc300, and put them through absolute hell. I'll get 80 hrs + out of a set, as long as I clean them. And I don't run neoprene socks, as they have a tendency to trap crap, and work it into the fork oil.NorWest said:If you want just the oil seal it is OSB 43K, If you want the kit with one dust and one oil then it is KITB-43K.
I have tested several seals and the SKF had the least stiction of any. They also seal the best IMO even over NOK.

All balls kit is what I put in my Tenere about 5,000 miles ago, seems to be working great so far. Also been using all balls seal kits in my wing for the past 300,000 miles, never any issues that bother me, yes because of the double lip seals they do have slightly more stiction but that doesn't bother me at all.OldRider said:Not so fast there. 43mm forks seals come with 53, 54, & 55mm OD's so you have to have the correct size. The S10 seals are 43-55-10.5mm (id-od-thickness) and all three numbers must match. OEM seals are the best, but if you're going to use aftermarket, the All Balls kit #56-135 would be your best bet. JMHO.
