Gives me preload on front springs and there is low speed compression via the tapered black thingy at the bottom of the spring.
Standard has no adjustment.

G'day Dave - $360AU from UK. The ZX6R's are a better install - you will have more adjustments available.

Nice work Ron!! That's a good price for what you get... Do they sells springs on their own. I might chuck this in the memory banks.
