Description
Elevate your motorcycle's performance and aesthetics with this exceptional pair of factory Showa 43mm upside-down (USD) front forks. Originally removed from a 2001 Ducati ST4, these forks are engineered for precision and durability. They boast distinctive Titanium Nitride (TiN) gold-coated inner stanchion tubes, which not only provide a striking visual upgrade but also enhance surface hardness and reduce friction for smoother operation. As fully adjustable units, they allow for fine-tuning of preload, compression, and rebound damping, ensuring a customisable ride experience tailored to your preferences and riding conditions. These OEM Showa forks are a perfect choice for restoring or upgrading the front suspension of your Ducati, maintaining its high-performance heritage. The right fork lug carries the casting code GD051-50-R, and the left fork lug is marked GD051-50-L, confirming their authentic factory specifications.
These Showa front forks are compatible with the following Ducati models:
* **Ducati ST4 (916cc 4V):** All model years from 1999 to 2003
* **Ducati ST2 (944cc):** Late-generation updated models from 2002 and 2003. Please note: These forks will not fit 1997–2001 ST2 models natively without swapping to the larger matching ST4 style triple clamps, as early ST2s ran smaller diameter non-adjustable front ends.
* **Ducati ST4S (996cc):** Non-Ohlins model runs from 2001 to 2005
* **Ducati ST3 (992cc 3V):** Non-Ohlins model runs from 2004 to 2007
* **Also compatible with:** Ducati Monster S4R, Ducati 748, Ducati 916, Ducati 996, Ducati 998.
