Motocorse SBK fork bottoms :love:
The eagle 🦅 has landed and OMG. These things look amazing! They looked awesome before but when they are on the forks it kicks it up a notch. I'm a super happy how they turned out. The forks were rebuilt with custom valving and black magic. Also added a travel indicator to the right leg so no more zipties lol.



The gold peeking through the fork bottom is beautiful
WOW, that is really GORGEOUS especially when compared to the stock Ohlins cast fork bottom side by side :love: 🥰 😘

Ohlins
I got some genuine Ohlins decals for the forks. Normally I don't like decals on the bike but these add a some WSBK flair to my front end. So I will be getting out a tape measurer rulers and a protractor to make sure they are put on there straight lol.

Brembo Deutsch Motocorse Ohlins Raychem Staubli
These are some of the best in the business. All these brands scream quality. I wanted to do a test fit to see what my front end would eventually look like. I'm super happy with how this came out.

Hi HKMP7,

I just saw this Laser Marking Video on Facebook, might be applicable to your Fork:

Forks fitted
So I test fitted the forks with the motocorse fork bottoms and everything lines up and fits well. This is just a rough mock up of how the cables will be routed.


Now with the WSBK Ohlins decal lol
really looking forward to your riding feedback

who did you send the fork to? North Carolina? or?

Brembo 16x18 Billet Clutch XR01151
Been waiting on this for a while here it is. The billet body should give the best feel of the available clutch masters. I mainly got it so it matches the brake master and gets rid of the cast stock unit. I got the long lever version which I prefer over the shorty. I love how Brembo "race" masters come standard with Ti pinch bolts. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is figuring out reservoir mounts. :cautious:
Now the pictures.



Excellent quality machining

Proti lever pin, bleeder screw and lever bolt.

STM inspection cover
Here is a bit of bling.
I ordered a new O-ring and Ill make sure to lube it up so it doesn't go on dry.
The machining on this thing is really nice and the black anodizing comes in clutch.
