70s door-closer technology

But Ben's right, it's not crap, it's just not very good.

Mohow, how heavy's that caff racer? And how heavy's it's pilot?

As TSM says there's other fork options that look traditional, such as SRAD GSXRs and the version straight after, and work far better. More adustable too, which is good when you're doing swaps- SV forks have only external preload adjustment at best, none at worst, so unless they're spot on for your bike (which they won't be) it'll be a bit of a fight to get them working well. Can be expensive too.
