Ok im looking at getting a set of preload adjusters but they need to be built into the fork cap aswell...

Firstly could someone give me some websites of places i can actually get these kind of things, i cannot find anywhere and ive been trying for ages,

Secondly, a list of bikes with 41mm forks would be handy so i know what options i have available?

Very Happy

I can say that the Yamaha Fazer 600 2003 has 41mm forks.

Do you mean the items that fit seperately onto the fork tops?

If so, 41mm won't help - you need to measure the hexagon section of the forks instead.

There's a selection available from Ebay/Demon Tweaks/M&P if this is the case. Or if you want a slimline 'twin-prong' version, you could always import them from Japan....

A note - some SV650s have a preload adjuster on the fork top (not an aftermarket fork, just the capability to adjust it) while some do have the adjusters.

The early curvy SV650s did not have adjusters I believe, while the later curvy ones did.

Unfortunately, they're often snapped up by racers, so quite hard to get hold off. However, worth a post on motoforum to see if anyone has a spare set.
