New forks
My new forks arrived today.
They are different to what I expected, the yokes and such look like they'll fit the SV, the ignition switch attatched to it looks exactly the same too. I was expecting GSXR600 SRAD forks from a 1996 bike, which means one mudguard mounting tab, and no compression adjustment. But, these have an adjuster on the top cap (rebound) and also an adjuster at the bottom under the caliper mount. So I'm thinking "Eh?" Anybody know better? Pics to follow.

Re: New forks
Rebound adjuster at the top, compression down below the caliper mounts.

Re: New forks
Yup, I'm just wondering because I wasn't expecting these forks to have compression adjustment at all.

Re: New forks
Er mate I turn spanners I'm not a valet.
Why do you think my servicing's so cheap? People want to pay for having their bike cleaned, go elsewhere

Re: New forks
OK, I will actually try your southern ways... Next time somebody wants a motor servicing I'll give it a full wash and wax, charge them double and not bother servicing the brakes or engine
