Description
Fork seals are one of the most critical maintenance items on any motorcycle—they’re your first line of defense against contamination and oil loss. When OEM seals begin to wear, you’ll notice increased friction, reduced damping response, and potential fork oil leakage that compromises suspension performance. The Drag Specialties Fork Seal Kit for 49mm Showa forks delivers a measurable upgrade with a specially formulated elastomer compound that reduces stiction by one-third while extending seal life up to four times longer than factory specifications.
The dual-lip design is engineered to distribute drag forces evenly across both sealing surfaces, minimizing lip distortion under load. This balanced force distribution keeps operating temperatures lower and maintains consistent suspension feel throughout the life of the seal, making it the go-to choice for riders who demand reliability and performance.
