When should I replace my motorcycle's fork seals?

You should replace them immediately if you see any signs of leaking oil on the fork tubes or lowers. It's also best practice to replace them anytime you have the front end disassembled, as old rubber can become brittle and fail.

What are the signs of worn-out fork springs?

The most common signs are a "spongy" feeling in the front end, excessive nose-diving when you apply the front brake, or the suspension bottoming out easily over bumps.

Can I ride with a leaking fork seal?

While you can for a short time, it's not recommended. Leaking fork oil can get on your brakes, reducing stopping power. It also causes poor handling and can lead to permanent damage to the internal fork components if the oil level gets too low.

Custom Motorcycle Forks & Components

The front end is the face of your motorcycle, and a set of dialed-in chopper forks is key to a perfect custom build. Whether you're doing a full rebuild or upgrading with custom motorcycle fork parts, we have everything you need to make your front end look great and perform flawlessly.

Choosing the Right Fork Parts for Your Build

Your front end is no place to cut corners. Here’s how to get it right:

Start with a Solid Rebuild: Before any custom work, start with the basics. A fresh set of fork seals and new oil is the most important step. Don't let a leaky seal ruin your hard work—rebuild it right the first time.
Get the Chopper Look: The classic chopper front forks style is all about length. We offer extended fork tubes to give your bike that iconic stance. Pair them with fork boots for a vintage touch and a clean finish.
Upgrade for a Better Ride: Worn-out fork springs lead to a mushy ride and dangerous front-end dive when braking. Upgrading to a new set of springs is one of the best performance improvements you can make for a more stable and controlled ride.
Dial in the Details: The small details make the build. Upgrading your sportster fork lowers or swapping to low-profile fork caps can clean up your front end and allow for a tighter fit with custom motorcycle handlebars.
