1993 Venture Royale Fork Parts and Part Numbers Labeled on Pictures

[Bob K.]

Here are a few pictures of fork parts on my 1993 Royale in order of assembly. The pictures include the official fiche names and part numbers. I hope this might help others who are trying to find the official part names and part numbers when performing fork maintenance. If I have any incorrect IDs, please holler and I'll fix it.

 

Parts on the inner fork. The oil seal washer (referred to as the "seal spacer" in the service manual) was installed with the rounded side (smooth side with rounded edges) against the top of the oil seal. The upper spring washer (also referred to as the "seal spacer" in the service manual) was installed with the flat side (the side with sharp edges) against the bottom of the oil seal. The metal slide (referred to as the "slide bush" in the service manual) and front fork piston (referred to as the "guide bush" in the service manual) appeared consistent and not dependent on a particular installation direction.

 

Inspect the floating, captive plastic ring at the bottom of the inner fork tube. There is no fiche part listed for this, so I suspect it is sold as a unit with the inner fork tube.

 

Parts on the front fork cylinder comp. The service manual refers to this as the "damper rod". The service manual refers to the wavy washers--valve springs--as "special washers". The service manual refers to the taper spindle as the "oil lock piece".

 

The seat plate is the last removable component at the bottom of the outer fork. It goes in first before any additional re-assembly.

 

If you could see inside the outer fork tube after the "damper rod" and related parts were re-assembled and installed, this is how it would look:
