Rear shock knob (UK)

[Various]

Hi,

I'm looking for the standard rear shock absorber knob - the black plastic one to adjust preload.

Mine is 'stripped' so it doesn't adjust the preload. It doesn't seem to be listed as a separate part from Yamaha and I'm not buying a whole new shock absorber just to get this part!

I'm in the UK.

Thanks

Matt

There used to be a manufacturer of an alloy knob. Sorry, I don't recall the name.

Eagle Mike makes an aluminum replacement for around $30 USD.

Matt.
Brand new plastic knob for 1 euro or aluminium one for 20 odd euro.
Get the ally one mate,they work, properly.
I'd pay 120nzd for 2 of them,they're that good.
Hang on,I did pay 120nzd for 2.
I now have a spare part I'll probably never use.
Amazing the things you'll buy extras of,just because you live at the bottom of the world.

Pete.
