    Mikesxs damper valves

    I'm considering installing a set of those valves on my Gs850. I understand that I will need some type of adapters because they are for the 35mm forks and I have 37mm. Does anyone have any DIY suggestions for the adapters (not looking to use a machine shop to have them made).

    Thank you

    You need a lathe to turn them up... I looked at DIY making some as I'd done something similar with another fork but the 37mm GS fork is just the wrong size to make it easy.

    I have a set with adapters in a set of 1100 forks ready to go on my GS1000.

    I have another set on the shelf if I remember correctly that you can probably twist my arm for...

      Thanks for the offer salty but I'm still on the fence about installing these valves. Do you by chance know the ID of the fork tubes?
