Re: New fork internals on the market
Reckons to be a proper cartridge I think, still going to be more expensive than going to gixxer forks

Re: New fork internals on the market
Yes it's cartridge internals with new springs and oil for €420. Always another option. Seems a simpler route to better suspension than the Gixxer mod.

Re: New fork internals on the market
PDQ seem to be the sole UK distributor. It does say they are for the naked bike though.

Re: New fork internals on the market
It does say they're for naked bikes, but the product list contains the cbr, r1, r6, zx6 and 10, gsxr1000...

Re: New fork internals on the market
Yes, but they have a different kit designation. All the SE kits are listed next to naked bikes, but are the forks different on the naked and faired SV's?
