Ohlins 851 Sp2 fork seals.

MickB

The suspension technician thinks that the seals for the above forks are now discontinued. Can anyone out there let me know if this is indeed the case or more hopefully a UK or European based supplier?
For what is may be worth the bike is on G plate so registered in August 1989 or thereabouts.

The forks are useable I was just going to get them serviced but if this is going to become a problem I'll wait till I ve got the seal kit in my hands.

Regards

K Tech Suspension in the UK refurbished my Ohlins earlier this year with all new selas and bushes.
Availability not a problem. Call them.

i've used what i think was nominally a honda seal - 41x54x11. well, it turns out that fits all the 41mm showa and lots of bmw, etc. i think pete smith recommended it, he said he ran 41mm seals on the ddt race bikes to make them last longer. surprising lack of stiction from memory.

Öhlins forks are 42 mm diameter. Quite odd nowaday but yes, K-Tech supplies fresh seal for them, I bought two sets in November.

Thank You for the updates. The seal kit has been bought and the forks are being stripped prior to new anodising. Front subframe and front wheel are now in for powder coating and the brake disc centres have just been anodised and are ready for collection. Slow but steady progress.

There are cnc seal companies around the globe that make anything you want. We have one here in Brisbane called the seal team. I use them all the time. You just have to decide what material you want and what hardness. You can even ask for more sealing lips.
