DannyBhoy, are you going to the bike show at the International Centre out at the airport?  Bunch of us are going to meet up there, as I will have the 550 in the show.  Apologies for the hijack.

What's with all the secrecy?

Anyone have a photo? 

Are they aluminum or steel?  Are they pretty?  Is the adjuster visible or hidden?  Easy to adjust?

I'm curious about what they look like.  Are they like the earlier fork caps with the slotted screw sticking out of the top?

Or is it something slicker than that?

I would be interested in something like this for my CB750K4.  I am buying new fork tubes, which are shorter than stock.  It would allow adjustability when I try to dial in the front suspension.
