The FKC 102 cartridges are drop ins but are not adjustable externally, I have them in my bike, works very well for me, the ones that Stopit is using have to grind the lip off the fork tube to fit, they also look a little more heavy duty and of coarse you can adjust them fairly easy.

fork oil
Your welcome
I paid $925.00 for the 102's from Cycle Solutions that included 2 Qts of Ohlins fork oil and three installation tools. I don't know about the other ones, you would probably call Motorcycle Metal

Its really not that big of a deal. Take your time and everything will be fine. I did the 30mm NIX kit and the install was fairly painless, once the anxiety was overcome.

I never had a set of forks apart before I bought this bike . Got some chrome lowers and was debating whether to let the dealer put them on for me or give it a shot . . $140 the dealer wanted and that's bringing the forks in ! They told me I'd never be able to do it myself as I couldn't compress the spring , they need 2 guys to do it ! Well that's when I decided to do it myself, not that big a deal , sure the spring was stiff but I got it , they must have some wimpy techs I guess.
