Good luck with Paioli...
If you manage to get a response, please order me 10 sets Wink
I'm sure there must be an after-market part that will/could be made to fit but I haven't come across it yet Wink

Yeah, I think most of us have asked, but don't let that stop you ...

I spoke to RaceLab who did Bimota set up days for the Enthusiasts, they reckoned they could get something to fit but also said it wouldn't make much difference in day to day riding.

If there's enough interest we could maybe do it as a group but I'm not sure about the value for money.

I got my forks done by Richard at Maxton this year. Said the forks were well set up for me already and the damping was good. Charged only for the service as he thought they were good enough already. This is in contrast to the ohlins on my duke - which he revalved and redamped. Very happy with both sets of forks now.

Aren't they the same company?

I've researched this a lot and it appears that ZX9 caps might work. Haven't tried any yet.
