Feeler- Shock Adjustment Knob

[Matt Sup10]

I designed an aluminum shock adjustment knob to replace the crappy plastic one that strips out. The prototype is being machined now. Just wondering if there is a market for these. Anyone interested? What do you think a reasonable price would be?

They are already being offered by another vendor. http://www.eaglemike.com/Preload-adjustment-knob-pak-s10.htm

Without getting into the plastic vs aluminum or who sells what, putting the bike on the center stand before using the adjuster takes a lot of the load off the knob when you do want to use it.

I would like to see an adjustment knob that has a hex head, maybe 13 or 14mm. Then you could use a ratcheting box end wrench or a socket and ratchet to turn it. I have big hands and it can be hard to get a good grip on the stock knob. Matt Sup10, if yours has a hex head, I'll buy one. Otherwise, I may make my own. I need some winter projects soon.

I also will buy one with a hex on it. I think $75 would be a fair price.

If enough people are interested, I can see making them with a hex nut on top.
