You can adjust your preload with a 10mm wrench in about 2 seconds without having to pop off your pistons everytime you want to tweak the front suspension. I bought them in a group buy last year and have been really happy thus far. I don't know how they compare to emulators though.

Trailerboy531 · March 20th, 2012, 12:00 PM

Possibly in...

kavo · March 20th, 2012, 02:27 PM

If someone can tell me how high these sit I will be in. Reason I ask is because in the Aussie 250 proddy class "handlebars must mount in the same position".

So I've got a set of these which are hollow underneath to an extent Clip-ons

Trailerboy531 · March 20th, 2012, 04:06 PM

You can see how high they sit in the picture above? They shouldn't interfere with your bars at all.

kavo · March 20th, 2012, 04:10 PM

I was looking more for exact dimensions. how high the adjuster screw goes, etc

pjed · March 20th, 2012, 04:39 PM

I'm in. What do I have to do? Who do I have to pay?

DailyRidden250R · March 20th, 2012, 08:06 PM

I need a list of 10 committed buyers.

I will talk to the SSR and they will either send coupon code or set up a special.

There is absolutely zero incentive in this for me other than the group buy rate that everyone is getting if this goes through.

abhijitz · March 20th, 2012, 09:45 PM

Count me in please .. How do i get into this group buy?

Please pm me or email me abhijitz@gmail.com ...

Domagoj · March 21st, 2012, 12:37 AM

Please disregard my post. I will not be participating in this group buy.

flurbadurba · March 21st, 2012, 01:15 AM

Want. Is there a deadline?

DailyRidden250R · March 21st, 2012, 06:04 PM

No set deadline yet. Let's see if it ever get 10 or close. Otherwise I just don't have much to negotiate with.

abhijitz · March 21st, 2012, 06:11 PM

What is the current count now? Please edit your first post and put in 1.2.3.... and so on with screen names

Not sure what exactly you need to know, but after measuring mine, it looks like the adjuster screws protrude about 32mm above the top of the fork tube. If you have to use stock handlebars, supposedly they fit inside of the stock bars perfectly, but I can't find where I put my old bars, so I can't personally confirm this. Regardless, they definitely don't stick up higher than the stock bars did.

Also, relevant threads if you want more pictures, a little more information, and/or want to know what you'll need to do to install these:

I'm in for Reds

NikkitaNinja · March 23rd, 2012, 09:16 PM

I'd be in for Blue

DailyRidden250R · March 24th, 2012, 06:04 PM

In for sure or is it a maybe?

NikkitaNinja · March 24th, 2012, 06:06 PM

Now that i look at it...maybe

RaceBikeRentals · March 24th, 2012, 06:48 PM

I have these on my race bike. Nicely made product.

DailyRidden250R · March 24th, 2012, 08:38 PM

Only Gold, Red, Blue.

MikeJames21 · March 26th, 2012, 09:35 AM

I'm in if I can pay after this Friday. just got wc clip ons so this is the next thing to buy!

kavo · March 27th, 2012, 02:25 AM

so by my count we are up to 7?

MikeJames21 · March 27th, 2012, 06:32 AM

Cmon 3 more let's go

adouglas · March 27th, 2012, 02:28 PM

I see they add a bit of height to the fork above the triple.

I wonder if they'd provide enough to clamp my clip-ons above the triple without raising the forks... speculation, anyone?

I like my clip-ons, but don't like the angle needed to clear the bodywork. Putting 'em above the triple and angling them down more would be a good thing.

However, there isn't enough fork tube up there to do it without significantly altering my steering geometry, and that's something I don't want to do.

You could always slide the fork tubes through the triple a little more as I think these caps would only add a couple of millimetres. bear in mind this will alter your steering geometry

I counted 6. Am I missing something?

most emulators replace the stock oil valving with 2 adjustable valves in the bottom of the forks. they let you independently adjust the damping rate for compression and rebound vs. the stock which is non-adjustable and doesn't have separate rates for compression vs. rebound.

the difference between cartridge forks and emulators is you have to disassemble the entire fork and remove the emulator every time you want to adjust the damping rate. whereas the cartridge forks have access to the adjustments on the outside of the forks. (the whole "no modifying the outside of the fork" rule probably comes into play with that... just guessing)

alex.s · March 27th, 2012, 05:48 PM

i might be in for the GB. when do they ship? and when would we pay?

pjed · March 28th, 2012, 05:05 AM

Someone on the thread did say they wanted an extra set for a friend. Must have changed their mind.

abhijitz · March 28th, 2012, 06:54 AM

Ya sorry, i thought i posted back. I wanted for a friend of mine. But he called me back and backed out from this offer. I am IN though for 1 set for myself.
