On the Thunderbird, it keeps the fork sealed without making the response stiff. On the Thunderbird's fork tubes the seal works gently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping the Thunderbird Fork Tight\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Showa, 47 mm fork of the Thunderbird relies on two seals per leg to keep oil in and dirt out. With fresh SKF seals the fork of the Thunderbird responds noticeably finer. For a cruiser like the Thunderbird, a sensitive fork is worth a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Wilbers Parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair the seals with Wilbers fork oil in the right viscosity. Opening the fork is also the chance to fit new Wilbers springs on the Thunderbird.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns of Worn Seals\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the fork tubes of the Thunderbird clean and look again after a ride; fresh oil means a leaking seal. Oil on the brake disc or pads is a safety risk; replace leaking seals promptly. Seals are cheap compared with the work of opening the fork twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse new fork oil when you reassemble the fork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDoes It Fit Your Bike?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilbers specifies it for the Triumph Thunderbird from 2016 to 2017, vehicle type B16BA\/BK01.
