Fork oil renewal

I found these in the top of the forks. Some sort of preload adjuster I presume. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

There is a similar set up on the superdream 400 forks, often fitted to 400/4s to give comstar wheels and twin disc brakes.

Bryanj:
Cant remember those fitted to any sohc i worked on

Nurse Julie:
They are defo an aftermarket part, or someone has made them specially for some reason. I take it your front forks are proper CB400/4 ones 🤔

K2-K6:
Many of the ideas like that are filtering out from cycle components,  particularly DH (downhill racing) as they are absolutely obsessed with modding/ adjusting anything.

The forks are often up around 40mm stanchion as well,  so bigger than our era bikes! 

Brakes too,  currently working on setups with floating discs,  four or six pot calipers with titanium pistons,  usually machined from billet.

But the forks,  there's just so much to adjust,  setup etc, that people get completely lost in what they are doing with all sort of weird mods, some very shonky, that some have a go at.
