Presentation of the Remmotorcycle inverted fork

Today, we are talking about the development and launch of Our inverted fork.

Our first model was designed for Harley-Davidson Sportster.

Install a inverted fork on one Sportster is a radical change, it's like riding with a new motorcycle. 

We have developed, tested and validated a brand new, much more sporty and enduring front train.

Our test motorcycle is a Harley Davidson Sportter Forty Eight (X48) from 2012. 

The genesis of the project:

A Harley and more specifically a Sportster is a custom. So, a motorcycle ride cool, on the couple and brake with anticipations.

When you like the sound of a V-Twin Evo, The torque of this engine and driving a little sportingly this can be a little problem with the cycle part.

Like the trend of clubstyles and Bagger performance, it is possible to make a Sportster more "sporty"To take full advantage of driving pleasure.

This is how germinated the idea of ​​developing a front axle allowing to extend the fields of application of this frame.

With a new front axle, it is always possible to ride cool but you can also your friends in roadster in the assembly passes.

What is the result?

We experienced our kit by browsing thousands of kilometers and We are convinced that this is one of the best modifications that can be made on a motorcycle.

The change for an inverted fork with a radial braking is really incredible.

With this installation, you can "polish" without being afraid of hazardous braking and thus take the curves calmly. LOn a motorcycle has a much more precise front axle.

In town, that also makes the difference, the motorcycle is agile, more long -lived and brake.

The changes are on all aspects:

• Security
• Look
• Comfort
• Stability 

Going from a standard fork to an adjustable inverted fork as well as a radial braking system equivalent to high -end racing motorcycles, completely transforms the dynamics of your motorcycle.

We can finally take full advantage of the performance of a Sportster Hors straight and red lights.

Even if you are not looking for sportiness, this kit will bring you more security, a motorcycle much less tiring to Cruiser.

Indeed, in addition to improving suspension and braking performance, the installation of this product changes the look of a Sportster. The mention "Sport"In its name takes on its meaning.

Why choose an inverted fork on your Sportster?

1. Increased rigidity : Compared to conventional forks, inverted forks generally have greater torsion rigidity. It means that they have a better stability and a Best response to turns, which is particularly important for racing and sports motorcycles.
2. Reduced weight : Due to the use of fewer materials to produce the same resistance and rigidity, the inverted forks are often lighter than traditional forks. This reduces the unpurrent weight of the motorcycle, which improves its maneuverability and reactivity.
3. Suspension performance : By allowing a more linear movement of the spring and the shock absorber, the inverted forks can Improve suspension performance. This can improve traction, driving comfort and handling, especially on irregular roads.
4. Aesthetic : Many bikers can appreciate the modern and sporting appearance of the inverted forks. They give the motorcycle a aggressive look, which for some can be a criterion of choice.
5. High speed stability : Reverse forks are ideal for motorcycles that reach high speeds because they offer a Better flexion resistance, which maintains stability at high speed.
6. Adaptability to radial brakes : Reverse forks are often designed to accommodate radial brake calipers, which Increase the braking power, modulation and dissipation of heat. In addition, on a sportster, you go from a simple caliper 2 pistons to 2 4 -piston radial stirrups. 
7. Better feedback : The combination inverted fork and radial braking changes the feeling on the handlebars, the front axle is no longer blurred. 

Adjustable sheaths

Our choice of fork tubes fell on the Japanese brand Kayaba.

Kayaba is a brand renowned in the middle of the motorcycle which offers very good products.

Manufacturers like Triumph, Ducati Or Honda, Yamaha (among others) equip their fork motorcycles Kayaba. 

The chosen model has tubes of 43mm. This is the diameter thatHarley-Davidson install on these Low Rider S And Low Rider St.

In addition, this model is adjustable. There is 12 levels in order to adjust the hardness.

It is possible to adapt the suspension to its environment.

The fork is set for the weight of Sportster and these passengers.

Fork feet Kayaba have a stirrup support for radial stretch of exhaust 100mm left and right for disks of 320 mm.

The length of the fork is identical to a Sportster original to keep the model construction parameters.

The travel is him 120mm Instead of the original 105mm.

The sheaths are available in Silver or in Gold. The fork feet are in BLACK.

The fork tee

The fork tee is a component to connect the chassis fork tubes.

The fork tee is made up of:

• A lower fork tee
• A Upper Fork TE
• Steering column
• A spacer
• A screw for the column

The fork tees were drawn and developed internally by our design office Remlab. 

The fork tee is specially designed for the Sportster.

Here is an image of the 3D rendering:

The upper, lower and column set is entirely aluminum, mass For increased quality and rigidity.

For the finish, we have chosen an anodization in black, A premium quality finish to resist over time.

With the concern for detail, as nothing is left to chance, all the fixing screws are in Titanium Black (fork and stirpers).

We have added new steering bearings in the kit to adjust your fork to perfection.

The set is completed with a wheel axis and spacers to go perfectly with the original wheel Harley.

To go further and brake louder.

Remmotorcycle Optionally offers one Radial braking kit Designed for the inverted fork.

The kit is made up of 2 radial calipers Fjn, 2 floating discs Remm 320 mm.

This kit is specially designed for Harley-Davidson And for this inverted fork.

He will give your sportster the braking he needs to appreciate this new front train. 

To find out more about these products, you click on the links below to see the pages of the products:

• FJN radial stirrup

It is an aluminum caliper cut in the mass, equipped with 4 32mm pistons forged and ventilated and high resistance platelets. 

• 320mm remM floating disk

Create by Remlab, this disc is both beautiful and performance. It combines a support and 6 ties Aluminum cut in the mass. The braking platinum is made of steel S42020. 

Your front wheel sporster has a single disc?

The scope of the disc is already present on the other side on the wheels of Sportster as you can see below on the model Forty-Eight.

In this case, you must pierce holes in the hub and tap them. 

We offer a kit to pierce and tap the second range to install 2 discs on an original rim.

To complete the braking, we have developed a radial lever kit + clutch for Sportster with integrated commodos.
