FAQs

Are these fork tubes sold as a pair?

No, the TNK Replacement Fork Tubes are sold individually. Since the left-hand and right-hand tubes are identical, you will need to purchase two tubes for a complete front fork replacement.

What is the material and finish of these fork tubes?

These fork tubes feature a durable nickel chrome construction, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, along with a polished aesthetic.

Can I use these tubes on a Honda ST 1300 from a different year?

These specific fork tubes (MPN: 100-0050785) are designed for the Honda ST 1300 model years 2002, 2003, and 2004 only. Please verify compatibility for other model years.

Is professional installation required?

While not strictly mandatory, professional installation by a qualified motorcycle mechanic is highly recommended due to the specialized tools and knowledge required for motorcycle suspension service.

How do I clean and maintain the chrome finish?

Clean the fork tubes regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the chrome finish.

What does 'Direct OEM Replacement' mean?

It means the fork tubes are manufactured to meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer's specifications for fit, form, and function, ensuring they will work correctly with your existing motorcycle components.

Troubleshooting

Fork seals leaking after installation

Ensure the fork tube surface is clean and free of debris. Verify that the fork seals were installed correctly and are the appropriate size. Check that the fork tube is not damaged or warped.

Uneven suspension performance

Confirm that both fork tubes were installed with the correct amount of fork oil and that the oil level is consistent between both legs. Ensure the springs are installed correctly and that no internal components are binding.

Difficulty installing fork tubes

Double-check that you have the correct model and year compatibility. Ensure all old seals, O-rings, and retaining clips have been completely removed from the fork lowers. Refer to a service manual for detailed disassembly and assembly procedures.
