That pretty much looks like a rip-off. Doesn't make sense that two washers and two spacers would solve suspension problems. Just use a little discretion here. Not saying it IS a ripoff, just saying it smells, tastes, looks, and feels like one. :wink:

Thought as much, just wanted to be sure, to be sure. Ta

They're having a laugh... All it'll do is increase the preload, which doesn't really stiffen the forks anyway. Don't know what they're up to with the fork oil- needs a litre to do an SV front. It says "rejuvenates" not replaces fork oil- as if it's going to be just adding new oil, or removing some old stuff and topping off with new. Total bodge...

How much is it for the preload adjusters off of a K2 again? It's about £40 from memory.

yes, about £40

maybe they're giving you 50ml of oil to reduce the air gap ;-)

So do these adjusters go straight on my '00 and will they stiffen up the front a bit? Are they the twisty bits that go atop of the forks yeah?
