yeah so tats wat i hve read as well but u got to use clip on bars instead..

I think a cheap way will be to change to 04 n abv forks.. they come wit adjuster.. or can change a few parts of the fork to be preload adjustable...

Agreed, beside you need to change the front fender if fork been replaced... dun forget about the front brake calipers... might nid bracket...

I still find the last model Hornet 600 got the coolest headlamp and speedometer. If I got spare would throw that in along with CB1000R wing mirror, although I would love to have a pair of duke mirror instead.

Its subjected by the following :

 

charging system (rectifier & coil)

how well the battery is charge (was the battery charge long enough, but how long is the duration guess not many of us know)

battery condition

faulty cables/connectivity

bikes incorporate alarm system

probable faulty module drawing unnecessary current from battery

bike with loads of electronics module (aftermarket parts)

My curiosity, why you need a pair of fork for preload capability... the OEM pair don't work well for you?

[rykros]

Oh cuz of panniers.. the wgt load affects my fork travel dist..

Old version of H6? You should consider latest H6, better equip but costly machine price.

If possible get the last model of CB600F, sporty retro styling with tonnes of new upgrade. Seriously, I only saw it on the net, didn't bump into one on the street before. Those I seen are older model of it... same goes to CB900F has yet seen those manufactured in 06/07... but CB900F didn't go through much of an upgrade all those years.

 

Any steering damper for recommendation?

Which shop carries Matris product?

 

How you feel about the traxxion dynamics spring under normal circumstances?

 

I have checked CB900F 08 model, owner's manual the vehicle front and rear shock are fully equip with preload and rebound adjustment capability.

Perhaps u can try purchasing the internal part of the fork and fix it in the current tube? As I believe the fork diameter shouldn't differs from our non adjustable type. That shall save u quite some money too.
