Fork Cap Tool with Pin Locating System

Brief Overview

This fork cap tool is engineered for motorcycle technicians who service modern suspension systems requiring precise alignment during cap removal and installation. The pin-locating design ensures repeatable positioning, critical when working with fork seals, damping adjusters, or internal components. For shops maintaining a comprehensive suspension toolkit, pair this with large-diameter fork cap wrenches to cover your complete range of fork sizes.

Key Features

• Eight-Pin Locating System: Precision-machined steel locating pins engage fork cap grooves, ensuring perfect alignment every time—eliminates guesswork during reinstallation
• Hex Drive Interface: Square drive recess accepts standard ratchet or wrench for controlled torque application
• Knurled Grip Surface: Diamond-pattern knurling on cylindrical body provides secure, non-slip handling even with wet hands or protective gloves
• Zinc-Plated Steel Construction: Durable gold/pink zinc chromate finish resists corrosion in workshop and field environments
• Rubber-Damped Pin Ring: Black polymer insert on pin face reduces marking on fork caps and prevents accidental scratching of precision surfaces

Business Advantages for Resellers

• Higher Ticket Value: Pin-locating tools command premium pricing compared to basic fork cap wrenches—customers recognize the precision engineering
• Repeat Sales Driver: Technicians who invest in pin-locating systems become repeat buyers for complementary suspension tools
• Margin Opportunity: Stock alongside general fork seal installation tools to upsell complete suspension service kits to shops
• Professional Differentiation: Shops equipped with precision locating tools win contracts for warranty work and complex rebuild jobs

Why This Matters to Your Technicians

Fork cap work demands accuracy—misalignment during reinstallation risks stripping internal grooves or creating binding in the suspension. The eight-pin system locks the cap into the correct rotational position before torque is applied, protecting both the tool user and the customer's motorcycle. This is the difference between a quick job and a professional repair.

Stock this tool for shops that service high-performance or warranty-critical motorcycles. It justifies its cost through precision and customer confidence.
