After emailing them, asking if they would fit 46mm forks, I received a reply from them in very broken english saying that either these would fit all three sizes OR they had all three sizes in stock. I've ordered a set to fit 46mm forks so I'll let you know for sure when they arrive Wink

I got the same type of response. I asked for the product code and it is different than the one listen in the 46mm RSU manual. I asked for some measurements, but I haven't received a response yet. I don't see how the adjusters can fit 3 different diameters.

Their exact reply to me was "you go up Paioli/Bimota 41, 43, 46"

I stressed that i needed them for 46mm forks so we will see what happens Wink

I saw them a while ago and after I'd looked at the picture really really hard I though they're the standard type adjuster like the ones on my bike



The posh adjusters have a tall blue anodised adjuster to them.

I really hope they are preload adjusters and not the normal damping adjuster like yours Crying or Very sad
At £90 they will be going back if the are not preloders Wink
Soon, we will see Wink

OK guys.....
They've arrived and..........They are NOT preload adjusters Embarassed
They are compression valves that fit into standard fork tops DOH..
I'll see if they'll take them back unless anyone has got chewed up adjusters and want to buy a bargain pair Wink

That's a shame. The preload adjusters were an optional upgrade for the Paioli forks so it would follow they would / should have the kits arround but it doesn't seem possible to contact them.

Yes, an optional extra for the 6 and standard for the 6R. I've got them on the other 6 but thought I'd get some for the new toy. Never mind Crying or Very sad
Paioli's product code is 849-311-526 for 46mm pre-load adjusters
And your right.... the factory doesn't reply to emails Wink

They are the compression adjusters that sit in the middle of the fork tops.
They would sit in the middle of the pre-load adjusters if you've got them Twisted Evil
Got a pair going cheap if you need them Evil or Very Mad Wink

Your right.....they are common to all RSU paioli.

Thread is 18mm approx
across the flats is 14mm
total length is 36mm

I paid £76 and I'd like as much of that back as I can get

Be back with pictures shortly Wink
