Front Suspension Revival Kit for Airheads, 1977-'80

Bob's Service Kits are made to take the hassle and guesswork out of buying maintenance parts. Now, instead of searching through pages of microfiche, you'll get everything you need - the RIGHT stuff - with just a couple of clicks!

This Front Suspension Revival Kit fits 1977-'80 Airheads EXCEPT R65
Specifically, this kit fits these 1977 through 1980 models...
R100/7, R100S, R100RS, R100RT, R75/7, R80/7, and R60/7.

The comfort and handling your bike was meant to have is probably gone. As suspension components gradually wear out with the miles and months, many riders don't realize how badly the performance has deteriorated. Renew your front suspension with this kit — it's a fairly easy job! — and you'll be surprised at how good your bike feels again!*

This KIT contains:
• 1 SET of Progressive Suspension Fork Springs
• 1 Quart 11.5 Wt Fork Oil**
• 2 Fork Seals
• 2 Fork Damper Bumpers
• 2 Lower Fork Leg Internal Bumpers
• 2 Gasket Rings at Bottom of Fork
• 2 Rubber Caps at Bottom of Fork
• 2 Crush Gaskets for Top Fork Cap
• 2 Crush Washers, Oil Fill at Top
• 4 Crush Washers, Oil Drain at Bottom (Why 4? Because on 1977 models and RANDOM others, this washer is also used for the oil filler bolt at the TOP instead of the one listed above it. Better to be prepared and end up with extra washers than not have what you need when doing this job.)
 

See recommended products for other common components that might be worn out.
 

Except for the Progressive Suspension springs, all other parts in this kit are Genuine BMW Parts.

**As of Oct. 2015, BMW 11.5 weight fork oil became the factory specified grade for ALL models that previously used 7.5 grade oil. The photo above was taken prior to the transition. 7.5 fork oil is no longer available. All our kits now include 11.5 weight fork oil.
