Hi All,
Somewhere long ago I posted drawings of the damper valves if you want to make your own.
In my opinion they are well worth keeping or fitting, I have bikes with and without and it makes a big difference
Originally if the complete kit was fitted it reduced travel due to the extra long bushes, ride height was restored by fitting the alloy top yoke.
If the Dow damper rods are fitted to standard forks I believe the rods are too short?
Easy cure is to add more oil so that the valve body is still in the oil at full extension.
I found 10wt fork oil to work well.
Anything heavier makes the forks too stiff
For the next project I am going to make a longer set of rods to try with the standard amount of oil
