Hi All,

I see Jaws motorcycle spares are now doing the caps with the pre-load adjusters on them for the front shocks.
Anybody tried these yet?? are they any good, surely they will harden the usually soft front end of the Blackbird?

Cheers,

Colin.

I bought my front springs, spacers and pre-load adj. from Jaws. With the Penske rear is runs much better. I will be installing Race Tech Gold Valves when they arrive. I don't touch the pre-load adj. I'm pleased riding alone, two up fully loaded Panne's. As stated in the thread the Bird's suspension is its weak spot.
