From the advert:
"Left fork is rebound, and right fork is compression"

I put some new old stock X1 forks on my S1 and the improvement was well worth the £200 they cost delivered from the states.


did the X1 forks from the U.S. come complete with internal springs, seals etc?

A correctly fitted clamp should rest on top of the bottom yoke and the showa retains its diameter at that point (same dia for around an inch under the yoke too) :idea:

so, no modification needed at all, they're a direct replacement? sorry to seem like a dullard :roll: but it's all part of learning about these machines and i want to be clear about things.
