fork Preload Adjusters
So who is going to go out and try this first? http://blogs.streetchopperweb.com/th...#axzz2KhZbZyZq btw, they make 39mm ones too.
Since I have a '93 Wide Glide I would need this http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SHOWA-41...-/290614947199 but its the same idea but in 41mm.
Since I'm not a suspension expert I would love that one of you guys tried them out and give us your feedback.
PS:
This with a set of Ricor Intimidators would make for a killer setup no?

I have been looking into these and cannot seem to find anyone who has the RSD ones in stock. I'll be adding them when I can locate some. I also have the Ricor Intimidators already installed. Should be a sweet setup.
I just got mine yesterday. They go on this weekend. I have stock springs for now.

I'm planning to get the speed merchant adjusters after battling with my preload spacers when changing to my new front end set up. If you run a single rate spring, which if your running anything other than Traxxion Dynamics springs you're not, it is a pain to compress the fork caps with the amount of spacer needed to obtain the proper preload if you're over 180lbs. You can add and inch and half of preload and get your sag adjusted correctly to allow the forks to operate in the correct range of travel for your weight. I spent 2 hours cutting and re-cutting the spacers and fighting with the caps before I cut them to a length that enabled me to install the fork caps and decide I would add the adjusters to make up the difference.
