Has anybody ever seen these stateside?
I found these on a British site, but would prefer to order them from a US distributor. I can't find them anywhere.....

I use a different brand, a set in gold. Y'know they are kind of just for looks, right? Once you set your sag via preload, you don't fiddle with 'em so much. Its easier to use a real wrench to turn the f*ckers too, because its pretty stiff.

Now it is possible to use them handily at the track if you want to add a little or take off a little preload between sessions and don't want to grab tools. beyond that, its just looks.
i learned this more
after
i bought the suckers. things to think about before you drop the 25 or so bucks on 'em.

Weird. First time I've heard the "no bling unless its useful" argument on this board.
If you bike flips upside down, lands perfectly upright, then grinds off the clocks, adjusters will keep the top of your forks from being ground off. So now that they are useful, has anyone seen them?

hey now, bling doesn't have to be useful, hence I still have 'em.
Though your grinding scenario is nice, it would still grind off my rebound adjusters I believe

Yeah. I guess I should have responded "I know they are for show (and potential grind protection)."

Those adjusters were available through Ducati performance,whats nice about them is the knurling at the bottom edge where you would grab it,a lil large but slick,I have the much earlier T style.
those are for the showa forks only which means their a 22mm nut,ohlins is 17mm., Their only available in silver,Martin at MotoWheels carrys the adjusters your looking for.

Ahhh. I found them on Moto Wheels. I don't know why I missed them the first time I looked. Silver only is a bummer....I need black or red.
