SKF fork bushings optimize suspension performance, providing a smoother and more controlled ride even in the most extreme conditions.\u003cbr\u003eInnovative Materials for Maximum PerformanceSKF fork bushings combine the mechanical strength of steel with the low-friction properties of the PTFE layer, ensuring exceptional durability and efficiency. Their three-layer construction design ensures top performance:Steel Backing – Provides high structural integrity and features a copper coating to prevent corrosion, extending the component's lifespan.Intermediate Bronze Layer – Creates a strong bond between the backing and the PTFE sliding surface, improving heat dissipation during operation.Sliding PTFE-based Layer – Reduces friction and ensures smooth movement for a more responsive suspension. After a short break-in period, the PTFE coating on the contact surface optimizes smoothness and wear resistance over time.\u003cbr\u003eBenefits of SKF Fork Bushings? Maintenance-free – No lubrication required? Reduced friction – Minimizes stiction (static friction), improving fork response under lateral loads.? High load capacity – Withstands heavy stresses, offering superior mechanical strength.? Stability across a wide temperature range – Delivers consistent performance in all environmental conditions.? Dimensional precision and minimal clearances – Enhances fork alignment and feel.? Quick identification – Dimensional markings for easy selection and installation. Complete Fork Bushing Kit for Full Suspension ServiceSKF fork bushings are available in a convenient kit for the complete service of a single fork leg.Enhance your suspension performance with the SKF PTFE Fork Bushing Kit! Trust SKF PTFE composite fork bushings for a more reliable, high-performing, and long-lasting suspension system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintenance-free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow frictional properties under side load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh load carrying capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStability at wide operating temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall operating clearance for improved guidance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand: \u003c\/strong\u003eAthena\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number: \u003c\/strong\u003eVKWA-SHO43-A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia Dorsoduro 750 SMV750 2007-2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV Tuono R 1000 2010-2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV1000R 2010-2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 RR 1000 2015-2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia SL1000 Falco 1999-2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia Tuono 1000 Fighter 2002-2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia Tuono 1000R 2007-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia Tuono Racer 1000 2002-2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR ABS 2015-2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW F900R 2020-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW F900XR 2020-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW R Nine T 1200 2017-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCagiva Raptor 1000 2003-2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CB1000 BIG ONE SUPER FOUR 1992-1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CB1000R 2008-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CB1100 RS 2017-2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CB1100 SF X-ELEVEN (X-11) 1999-2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CB900F Super Sport 2002-2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CBR1000RR 2004-2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CBR1000RR SP 2004-2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda Interceptor 750 VF750F 1987-1992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda Interceptor 800 VFR800 XB 2014-2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda XR250L 1991-1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda XR400R 1996-2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda XR650L 1993-2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki Bandit 1200 GSF1200 1996-2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki Bandit 1200S GSF1200S 1996-2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki Bandit 1250S GSF1250S 2007-2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki DR250 1990-1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki DR350 1990-1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki GSXR750 2000-2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki RF900R R \/ T 1994-1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph Speed Triple 1050 2005-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph Sprint GT ABS 2002-2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph Sprint RS 955 1999-2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph Sprint ST ABS 2002-2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph Tiger 1050 Sport 2013-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph Tiger 800 2010-2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph Tiger 800 XR 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph Tiger 800 XRT 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph Tiger 800 XRX 2015-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: Image is for reference only, actual product may vary slightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159920074831,"sku":"VKWA-SHO43-A-ATHENA-0426-ATH","price":44.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/7120\/7759\/files\/VKWA-SHO43-A_4626ac34-5941-435b-8ee0-921da48cb399.jpg?v=1777657296","url":"https:\/\/lionparts.com\/products\/athena-skf-fork-bushing-kit-vkwa-sho43-a","provider":"Lionparts Powersports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
