The JB/KYB φ38 Special Front Fork was developed for the air-cooled ’70s to ’80’s superbikes and other literbikes. Its high rigidity obtained though a high- strength ultra-thin inner tube and the excellent spring and damping characteristics that are based on BITO R&D’s extensive proprietary knowledge make it an ideal suspension for street use. The separately available extension kit allows making height adjustments that are essential for race users or custom bikes.
The JB/KYB φ38 bottom is available in gloss black and silver to fit your motorcycle.
The inner tube is chrome plated, however, if you are looking for something different please get in touch.
Two different base lengths and the separately available JB-POWER extension kits allow making
height adjustments that are essential for race users or custom bikes.

It can be installed on the GPZ900R (A7 – A11) without modification.
