SKF Mud Scraper Kit for 49mm Showa Forks The SKF Mud Scraper Kit (KIT-MS49S) is a preventative tool designed to protect your fork seals in harsh riding conditions. Unlike traditional seal cleaners that you use after a leak has started, these scrapers are installed externally on the fork lug to catch heavy mud, grit, and debris before they ever reach your oil seals. For riders frequenting muddy tracks or silty river crossings, this kit significantly reduces the risk of seal failure and "weeping" forks. It provides an extra layer of defense without requiring you to disassemble your forks for installation. Features: External Protection: Blocks mud, sand, and clay from entering the fork seal area. Split-Ring Design: Allows for quick installation and removal without having to pull the forks off
