I am still using this product 20 years later (just found it again in my fork tools bin rebuilding some KYB forks tonight) - and it works great! It's like a really cheap DLC treatment, not as effective, but still a great friction-reducing improvement.

Anyone else still doing the same?

I still have product for another year or so, but anyone know where I could get more?

If i were them I would only recommend to test it on the bench by dragging a seal over it. Maybe then you can feel an actual difference. I really wonder how much seal drag contributes to fork action when going over braking bumps, where its the bushes that are being subject to immense lateral force.

I started using it ~ 2007 on my 2007 CRF450R to reduce fork harshness and it worked wonders on that bike.

It's benefitted every set of forks I've used it on, but I've only used it on OEM chrome surfaces (not on DLC).

Stuff like this grabs my interest in the never ending quest for suspension improvement. Stuff like this and that oil that DaveJ from smart performance used to sell. It all sounds too good to be true but guys use it and rave about it.

This does the same exact thing. You're significant other won't even realize you're using either 😉

The Zohan makes it "silky smooth".

I do remember that product! Man, that was way back.

Is there an equivalent these days?

Hey everyone. I had posted on the main mx forum, but thought I'd also post here. I have setup bottles and instructions to ship Forslyk for a limited time.  Kind of a 20 year anniv thing, for fun.  Just PM me your paypal address and I will send an invoice. It's $74.95.  I'm confident it will coat atleast 10 bikes.  Thanks Chad (Miedoso Racing)

P.S. Rider 5280 received the first 2 orders.

I'm wondering if modern high-end ceramic coatings would work similar.
