I've had lots of conflicting info on forks from various sources. Maxton seem to be the best informed, but could only offer complete new cartridges for £400+.

Having spent much of last year discussing the back end of my 900SL with many suspension specialists, the majority agreed that a well set up Showa unit was almost as good as an Ohlins as long as you didn't want ride height adjustment or increased overall length.

Personally I'm looking for about 10mm more overall length (stop s******ing... ), preferably with some ride height adjustment. The only way I can work out to do this is with a shock with a component shock-tube (ie: ohlins) which can be extended, rather a showa where the shock-tube is a moulded part of the unit. Harris have said they can extend an ohlins unit for an extra £50 but as I can't afford one in the first place it's fairly irrelevant!!

So any help you can offer Domski is definitely welcome.

Cheers,

Ali
