My adapters are fine so far.

Did you clean them at all when they were on Ian?

yeah I definately won't be buying FK again. My spacers are made of such s**t quality metal! I tightened bolts properly and bits of the spacers metal came off with the bolt!

yeah you have to be careful with the basic model, better to go with the silverlines as they're protected better... still though really suprised about the state of the springs.

It was the Silverlines that I first heard about seizing.

The one on the right is fine believe it or not, just the one on the left has leaked and no oil left in them, Think i'll get it fixed and then try and sell them on.

And Phil J's ones are on - altho got them myself - Â£200 delivered, and they fell much arder than the Fk's which seem a soft spring!

And KW's will get bought when i can!

The oil probably stopped it from rusting!!

I'd rather it rust than no oil being in the shock!

No idea which FK's I got but I know the previous owner fitted them after he pruchase it which would've been 3yrs to date. Fortunetly they don't look anything like that pic, which is confusing but a sigh of relief.

KW's are better or Weitec but they're too expensive
