True. Ok lets try another angle, everything related to suspension is a compromise. Fitting forks from pretty much anything is less bad than the standard compromises.

Bear in mind if he was trying the same antics on stock forks he would probably spend the entire time rattling his way wide as they'd be on the bump stops the whole way into the corner.

Nothing is right as stock, here is pic of fork piston from GSXR 20mm showa I just pulled out of my bike.

See the small notch in the sealing surface? That is just to make sure nobody dies if a retarded owner closes the compression bleed all the way.

Those forks work better as bog stock on SV than they do on SRAD IMO. We see how they do with all new valving and springs
