Latest news from Maxton - they _can_ supply custom cartridges for 360+vat + labour ....... with 4-5 weeks lead time. More importantly ... they have found that there are all the variations that we have wondered about fitted by ducati over the years ... spring only on one side + damping only on the other springs both sides + damping only on one side or rebound one side + compression the other So this is yet another chapter in the book of 'how crap is the 600 spec' Oh - and the other thing that they have found is that the std fork seals are really tight and give bad stiction - making their cartridges seem as if they arnt working properly on a road bike. (not so bad on a race bike cos its worked harder) They cant fit alternative seals cos they are a ******* (correct use of technical term !) size, so they tried 'easing' them a bit and that worked until they leaked after about 500 miles !
