The fork parts category at Hornig offers precisely matched components for the forks of classic R80 models. Fork components have a decisive influence on handling, comfort and safety – with the right parts, you ride confidently, safely and with a high level of reliability.

Fork tubes – the stable foundation of the fork

With suitable fork tubes from Hornig, you create a solid foundation for your telescopic fork. The range includes reproductions for various R80 variants, such as for BMW R80/100 from 9/1980 and R80G/S, as well as separate versions for R80ST and R80GS Basic. These fork tubes are manufactured to restore the original dimensions and movement of the fork – essential for precise compression and rebound as well as safe road holding.

Fork seals – reliable protection against wear

A properly seated fork seal is essential to keep fork oil inside and dirt and moisture out. Hornig offers various fork seals suitable for classic boxer models such as /5, /6, /7 as well as R80G/S and R80GS. These seals ensure smooth and clean fork operation, significantly increasing the service life of the fork.

Fork gaiters – protection and durability

Protective boots are an important element for well-maintained fork tubes. Hornig offers several versions of fork gaiters, for example with 11 ribs for /6 or R2V GS models up to August 1989, as well as with 15 folds for R65GS and R80G/S. In addition, there are versions with 15 ribs for later R2V GS models from 1989 onwards and with 13 ribs for /5 models. These fork gaiters protect sensitive fork components from splash water, dirt and abrasion, contributing to a longer service life of your fork.

Rubber boots – additional protection

As a supplement to the fork gaiters, Hornig offers matching rubber boots that primarily protect the fork oil seal. Versions are available for R2V models from 1984 as well as for classic R80R and R100R models. These boots ensure that dirt and moisture do not reach critical transition areas and thus support the sealing function of the fork.

Clamps & mounting parts – secure installation

Small components such as clamping bands for fork gaiters and upper clamps D44 for certain GS models are also part of the Hornig range. These mounting parts ensure that protective boots and fork gaiters are securely fixed and remain in place even on long-distance tours.

Maintenance & care – tips for a long-lasting fork

Regular inspection and timely replacement of fork tubes, fork seals and fork gaiters prevent oil loss, corrosion and uneven fork operation. Especially on older R80 models, these parts are wear points that should always be checked during inspections. Well-maintained fork components ensure sensitive damping, even compression and rebound, and greater safety during braking and cornering.
