Default Zeta Front Fork Top Cap

Has anyone seen these yet?
- ZETA RACING -
Waiting for a response from the manufacturer, but just wondered if they would work on stock forks.
Can you simply connect adjusters on the top cap and have them work or is that to good to be true? (As you can tell my mechanical aptitude is lacking...........and I'm Australian) But disabilities aside, one can dream........

You didn't mention what year and model bike you have. Do your forks have an adjustment on the top of the forks? KLX300 forks don't have a rebound adjustment. These caps allow you to adjust rebound ( if you already have a rebound adjuster) while riding.

Ride on

I have an 09, so no adjuster.

Then the caps will only be for eye appeal.

I'm confused as to what these caps are supposed to do. The compressor and rebound valve stack is at the bottom of the forks along with the adjustment clickers, at least they are on my 2012. Zeta's description on their webstite doesn't specifically say anything about compression or rebound adjustment and from watching the video I think they would be used for spring preload adjustment.

The fitment chart does say it fits KLX years 98-16. I guess it's just eye candy like said above. That pic isn't a KLX so it may not have that adjuster I didn't watch the video until just now. I would for sure contact them before buying if your really interested in it. Find out what they say it does. Looks like BS to me.

The KLX doesn't have Compression Damping adjustment, only Rebound which is on the bottom.

Werloc your correct front forks only have compression damping. The rear shock has both compression and rebound damping. My bad.
