preload adjustment knob replacement on non-ES

[shift_enter]

My preload adjustment knob was stripped out in the center and would not change the setting; I definitely stripped it when trying to adjust it with a passenger on board. After searching on this forum I came across Eagle Mike who makes a metal replacement knob. I bought one after a quick email exchange and the installation could not have been simpler. I was considering buying a new shock to fix my bike bu tonly $38 and 2 days later I got the knob. It only took 10 minutes to install it and the detailed instructions made it really simple. 10/10 would recommend.

heres a link to the part https://www.eaglemike.com/Super-Tenere_c6.htm

Moral to the story, adjust up on the center stand. I have one of those knobs, nice stuff.

Yep have gone through two of these plastic knobs. About to get an aluminum one.

Were you able to get one back in 2020? I've been looking at the site and they have been out of stock for a long time now (maybe over a year).

I picked one up back in May of this year. Contact Mike and see if/when he plans to have them in stock.

I did send him a note yesterday and he already replied, saying he'll make another batch and they'll be ready in 2-3 weeks.
