Kraus Motor Co.

SX5 Inverted Front End Kit by Kraus


Kraus Motor Co. (St. George, Utah) has designed a new SX5 inverted front end to upgrade Low Rider S/ST Softails with improved tracking, stability and braking - "giving performance riders confidence to push their pace."

"We engineered the SX5 with improved geometry and stiffer components to take full advantage of the new Öhlins FF inverted fork. This kit includes Öhlins inverted front forks, known for their superior handling and ride quality, as well as new SX5 triple trees, Kraus radial brake mounts and Kraus fender mounts. 




"This kit is the result of a partnership between Kraus Motor Co. and Öhlins racing technology, ensuring top-of-the-line quality and performance. The kit is also compatible with the Kraus isolated riser system, allowing for a customizable riding position."

The kit is said to deliver "improved handling and ride quality for a better overall riding experience, increased braking power for added safety, customizable look and riding position." 

"The SX5 ensures long-lasting durability with high-quality components that are 100% engineered and manufactured in USA."

Options include choice of machine or black anodized finishes. The Öhlins FF inverted forks come with adjustable springs and valving and Kraus 108 mm radial brake mounts for increased braking power ready for upgraded calipers. 


Machined from solid 6061 billet aluminum, the broader triple tree cross-section gives increased axial strength and proprietary geometry creates improved performance and handling, and compatibility with the Kraus isolated riser system means a customizable riding position.

They are available for 2018+ Softail Low Rider S and the 2022+ Softail Low Rider ST - for 108 mm radial brake fitment only. Kraus Motor Co. designs and engineers its products to be compatible with OEM fitments. 

To complete the conversion, Kraus recommends using its SF DiGi Pro Kit with Kraus 10" kickback isolated risers for a more upright riding position and its APEX Edge footpegs for increased stability and control.
