Is it the intek people??

[frezno]

Cardinale, afaik, the bushings are not from SKF just distributed by the same distributor (Innteck)

[cardinale199]

tha package have the skf code inside . are you sure frezno , distribuited by innteck , but i talk whit the holder and say me are made by skf

[frezno]

i double check on this. i got priliminary parts for testing. they haven't been 'officially' packed at that tiem so i don't know about the current packiging.

I'll find out - don't want to provide wrong info (which i might have already done ? )

[frezno]

the answer: non SKF

[cardinale199]

ok thanx for the info , false bushing!!i will talk with innteck

[frezno]

don't get me wrong. There's a complete set with seals and bushings. Since the bushings are really hi quality they are a perfect complement to the fabulous seals. they are just not produced by SKF

[cardinale199]

i will post here a picture of the bushing

You guys should check out synergy seals lower bushings...very nice! Beautifull fit and super slick.

Look like a new typ of material....it is nonmetallic but not plastic.

Anymore news on these fork bushes? Has anybody done much testing with them?

I received some today and the Teflon coating on the inside is quite rough. Much rougher than KYB, new WP or some aftermarket brands.

Why so rough?

I personally think they're subpar but that's my opinion and this past years experience with customer comeback with VERY sticky forks. In every instance I've installed a KYB bush and no more problems. I only have a few left and will prob just trash them. I don't think you can beat the KYB bushings. For Showas I use OEM or the all balls which are actually pretty good. WP and KYB I use the KYB's.

Are you saying that you fitted the Innteck bushes to customers forks and they came back complaining of VERY sticky forks?

[ds1434]

Yes indeed and upon removal the bushings literally feel like very rough sandpaper

Thanks DS. This confirms my initial thoughts of not using or stocking them.

Didn't Jer help test and develop these? Normally he is on the ball, how could he have missed the mark so much?

I've talked with Jeremy and Kelvin from csr and they both say these are superior to any other bushing.

I highly respect both of their opinions but I have absolutely ZERO luck with the things.

I mean to watch Slaven's video on them you would think they were the holy grail.

The kyb's to me are the holy grail!!

Dealer on these things aren't cheap either

Slaven's does talk about the chamfer on the edge of the bush, but all of the other bushes I currently have in stock also have this chamfer, so I see no benefit there.

He spends most of time talking about the packaging of the bushes. This to me, highlights the fact that he has very little to say about the bush on a technical level....
