Any opinions on the above as have always thought original are a bit soft, plus are WP seals any better than pattern ones. Who does WP in the uk now please. |

Yep, plug and play, direct replacements. I spent a fortune with Maxton trying to get the WP forks working, ended up with their cartridges in both legs at £200+ each, still only have rebound adjustment.......Showa forks are much better straight out of the box and have comp and rebound adjustment. |

St. Pauls H-D in the States used to have a good deal on them ? Only thing I'd say is that if you weigh more than 11 stone, you might want to put heavier oil in them. |

Dunno, I only do Buell but I'm guessing not as the caliper mount is specific to Buell

St. Pauls HD had a pair last week. Don't know if they are still there. Import duties are the biggest beef with buying from them as they will claim full retail value on the paperwork. Always a pair on e-bay somewhere and probably closer as the chopper people only ever want the motors. |
