Well, I have been after one for the cafe bike project. I posted on this site looking for help geting one. I called MaguraUSA, no help. No help from the OZ SR parts guys.
Now I have mine. Direct from Japan, of course by way of Germany where it was made, to me, brought by a friend who has been posted to Japan by his U.S. company. It took his secrectary less than ten minutes to get him the part, next day based on my copy of the website's page descibing the kit.
A bit expensive, yes. For a SR500. However, for my cafe bike project, it is going to look just right on the Tomaselli clip-ons I will be putting on the emulator tuned forks coming back from RaceTech.

Glad you got your kit. Sorry we let you down by not lining you up. I'd not heard of it before your request. I hope it turns out to be all you've been hoping for. Looking forward to pics and details when you can.

Pit, they make them for sr forks. Wizz954 has a set in his SR race bike. Also try YSS suspension as they now offer emulators to suit different size forks.

Email mwiley@race-tech.com and he will be able to help you. They are using my forks to develop the parts set to offer in the updated catalog. The SRX-6 forks go next. This will help the SR500 AHRMA racer who wants to get into a good adjustable setup for the front end.
I agree that the YSS shocks are worth looking into. After Christmas, I'm sending o.e.m. SR500 and SRX6 rear shocks to Klaus at YSS-USA to help him select the most correct combination for my bikes.
Merry Christmas

Still waiting for the forks to get back so I can reassemble the front end. I'll be glad to report when that happens...........

Update: RaceTech is outsourcing my fork lowers for powdercoat. Their inhouse springs won't fit up on the SR forks and I sent them a set of Progressive springs to try as I already had them for the project before the offer came to use my forks as development pieces. Haven't heard anything in a week and a half. No worries, I've got a bunch of other bike work going on anyway........
