BMW R80 R90 R100 Twinshock damping system for 36mm forks

A motorcycle fork consists of two tubes that slide into each other, a spring, and a damping system. The The spring absorbs road bumps in the process off, the Cushioning ensures that the spring does not get into any uncontrolled vibration device. That was the case in the past and still holds true today.

The Fork of our two-valve models have improved over the model years, but one thing has always remained the same: there was never a truly functioning damping system. The Fork damping consists of on the older Boxer models, made of a type of Small metal tube with two small drill holes, through which the fork oil is forced.

The 2-valve models have rich sprconsider, which is a good characteristic. However, due to the lack of damping, a lot of movement is introduced into the chassis. For the Rocking up and down the cardan shaft is generally held solely responsible, which is where the name comes from "Rubber cow". Rather, the fork, with its bouncing motion caused by a lack of compression and rebound damping at least as responsible for this.

So we have at SE Concept a Fork damping system, in technical terms Fork cartridge called, constructed and manufacture this for the classic BMW 2V Boxer. The goal was by no means to turn these old treasures into racing motorcycles; the goal was to Driving behavior for the average street rider to improve, which To increase driving safety and for more comfort to ensure.

The Cartridge systems have a Compression damping in the left leg and rebound damping in the right legThe internal 20mm damper pistons are equipped with so-called shim valves and a needle valve for the bypass—a technology that is still used in modern vehicles today.
All of our systems can be adjust from the outside. This means, Rebound, compression, and spring preload can be adapted to your specific needs. But don't worry, the Systems are delivered pre-configured, it is primarily about the revolutionarily improved cushioning. Should a customer ever wish to make a change, we include recommended settings for "softer" or "firmer". Changing the setting takes less than 10 seconds, but if you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call.
The Installation can be carried out in any workshop and takes approx. 2 hours. No special tools are required. The systems are delivered completely pre-assembled with springs and the matching fork oil.
Externally, the modification can be recognized by the elegant fork caps, which also house the adjusters for damping and spring preload. A 14mm wrench for the spring preload, a small flat-head screwdriver for the compression and rebound damping.

The systems are supplied with a TÜV certificate delivered by TÜV Cologne. This ensures a Entry at any testing center easily possible.
