Default Speed Merchant vs RSD fork preload adjusters...

Does anyone have either? I'm looking into getting a set for my 07 fxd but want to know if anyone has experience with either. Speed merchants are a little cheaper but RSD's look nicer. What do you guys think?

I've got the SM ones on my sporty. I like em, the adjustment is actually more noticeable than the preload settings on my old DX front end. Plus the SM dudes are a grassroots operation and nice guys to boot. Not trying to make a fortune like all of RSD's parts.

I just got my 39mm and 49mm SM ones and I havent ridden much with them but they are great quality and seemed to make a big difference.

I need to pick up a set of these for the Sporty. Dyna is a T Sport for no need for them on there. I will get the Speed Merchant ones. You can't go wrong witha name like that.

I have the speed merchant ones but haven't installed then yet. About to install racetech kit and the preload adjusters soon. I'll give a review in a week or so but they seem very well made

Anyone know the height different of the adjustable cap in comparison to the stock ones? I am trying to determine if I will have a clearance problem with my bars since I have short risers.

Thanks,
Dan
