I like my method.
Mechanically all done, for a cheap price, anybody interested can watch/av a go... But if you want it washing then do it your f###ing self.

Mels bike was bad enough pulling the sheep shiz out of the fairing mountings and rearsets!

As I understood it...

SRAD 600 up untill 98 had rebound adjusters, no compression on RWU forks
99-00 gained compression adjustment.

Then the K1's still had RWU forks untill K4, which had showa USD's.

These forks are supposedly from a 96 bike

I'd say it has a fairly basic explanation ... whoever sold them to you got them off a 96 bike ... but at some point (presumably before they got it) their 96 bike was fitted with later forks (someone prolly thought they would 'upgrade' somewhere along the way) ...

Yup thats about my best guess, not that I'm too bothered about getting more adjustable forks that are 3 years newer than expected.

Be right, now I just need the rest of a front end
