Default Re: sv 650 front end ohlins

So have ohlins cartridges been fitted (or any) or have they just changed the size/shape of the holes on the original damper rods.

(a cartridge is a whole world apart from a damper rod)
A damper rod, that's it, damping comes simply from the oil flowing through the holes

A cartridge is completely different, with spring-steel valves to control oil flow at different fork velocities.
