Kraus KR8 Inverted Front End Kits Offer Choice of Valving Options

Described as "the complete package with maximum impact," Kraus Moto says that "nothing else matches this level of performance of our Öhlins based KV8 inverted front end kit for 2024 H-D baggers with Street Glide fitment coming soon.

"Whether you're carving through tight corners or cruising open highways, this American-made kit is the ultimate upgrade for aggressive H-D riders. The KR8 inverted front end kit has what it takes to truly elevate your ride."

Designed specifically for performance upgrades, this premium front-end kit includes Öhlins inverted front forks, known for their superior handling and ride quality, as well as new KR8 triple trees, Kraus radial brake mounts, and KR8 fork guards to protect the fork seals. 

The kit is also compatible with the award-winning Kraus Isolated Riser system, allowing for a customizable riding position. This kit is the result of a partnership between Kraus Moto and Öhlins racing technology, ensuring top-of-the-line quality and performance. Benefits are said to include improved handling and ride quality for a better overall riding experience, a customizable look and riding position, increased braking power for added safety and high-quality components for long-lasting durability.

There's a choice between performance valving for a refined ride or touring valving for a plusher feel: +1" (standard) and (+2") fork length options with Performance, or Touring Valving options.

Touring Valving is engineered to perform on the open road with the upper part of the stroke providing a comfortable, plush ride. As the stroke deepens, the valving manages the forces, allowing the fork to adapt to the road surface for optimal traction and road-holding capability, even with a fully loaded bike. This fork is specifically designed and recommended for long-distance riders seeking the ultimate touring experience.

Performance Valving is designed specifically for performance riding, built to keep up with other riders in fast-paced environments, with developed tuning used by track riders and those who ride hard. Especially suited for aggressive riders looking to maximize their lean angle, the +2" over option raises the front-end by 2 inches, boosting ground clearance and perfect for high-speed twisties and track use.

Fitments are 2008-2013 Harley Touring Models (1" Stem) and 2014-Up Harley Touring Models (30mm Stem). Note though that it will not fit a 21" front wheel and that 108 mm radial brakes are required. 2024 Models will require purchase of KR8 Fender Adapter Brackets or 23" and below year model fender; CB-FFN-19MD-210 & CB-FFN-19SH-205 are compatible. There's a 2024 Street Glide fitment coming soon.
