Why did you choose this product?
We found the fork seepage of the vehicle, so we did OH this time.
I was thinking of using OEMSeal when I reassembled my car, but SKF had a product that was compatible with my car that I had used on another motorcycle in the past and had a good feeling about, so I bought it this time with high expectations.
Impressions after using it
I've had it installed for a month now and I've put over 3000km on it, and the fork is smoother.
Even if you install the OEM Seal properly, you can feel the stiffness and the movement of the SKF, but with the SKF, there is no resistance to movement and you can easily feel the original movement of the Fork.
As for the C type, I was able to feel the smoothness of the movement more because the inner tube was given the KaStripeCoating.
The fact that there is no resistance to movement means that I can tighten the damping and spring rate, and I would like to enjoy setting the suspension in the future.
▼ Attention
OH of Inverted Front Fork requires special knowledge and special tools, so if you have no experience, it is better to consult a motorcycle shop.

Premium.
When we decided to use the front fork overhaul, we were not sure whether to go with the less expensive OEM or SKF.
When I opened the package and looked at the product, there was no BALIetc. at all, and the finish was very clean,
Also, during the overhaul, I inserted it into the inner fork and felt slightly less resistance than the OEM when moving it. As a result, SKF was the right choice.
The Dust Seal also has a Spring to prevent foreign objects from entering. The difference in the casual appearance is very satisfying.

At the time of Oh! SKF rather than OEM.
When Oh ??
I felt less Friction … and when I ran and looked at it, it was at about 80 km.
I felt that the road surface tracking was improved.
It's personal.

Better/Bad
I built it on 1198SP and it leaked.
I reassembled it again with the same Seal, but we'll see how it goes.
What I am concerned about is the packaging. I am concerned about whether it will affect the quality of the Rubber since everything is in a Bulk state and in a paired box, and the Quantity that Spacer purchased.:2 Of the Set, Quantity:There were not enough sheets for 1 Set. Perhaps they were left out. Also, my friend at the Rubber shop told me not to use Green Light because of composition issues.

The reduced sliding resistance can be felt when assembling the product.
I don't know how durable they are as I replace them every year.
Cost performance is not high.

SKF's Fork seal and Titaniumium coating's ForkInner were a great match.
Friction loss was very low and I could feel the suspension moving.
