preload adjusters.
sorry guys this might have been asked before but can any one help.
i have a curvey sv before the preload adjusters were put on. as you can guess my question is will the preload adjusters fit on my bike and if they do is it worth it. i know the response will be do the springs as well, i would like to say i only weigh just over 8 stone and find the spings good enough just wouldnt mind them being alittle stonger with a little less dive and thought the adjusters may sort this?? any help is much appriciated. scott. |

Re: preload adjusters.
8 stone the springs are fine. Try change the oil first.

Re: preload adjusters.
Chris you are so FAST. You reckon try a thicker oil or just standard gain?

Re: preload adjusters.
Not sure tbf, I'm a few pints heavier than you
Try 15w and see what happens, it's not expensive.

Re: preload adjusters.
sv spares dont have any in stock they are only £15 each there
£68 seems a little steep! |

Re: preload adjusters.
That does seem alot for some thing like that, if sv spares dont have any its gotto be worth waiting till some pop up.
