I have an adjustable wrench.
Only a left-handed one though as I broke my right-handed one.
I'll have to get that fixed cause using the left-handed one in my right hand is a real PITA.

don't forget to chose a metric adjustable wrench. SAE will not work and might round the edges of the adjusters.

Sorry Ric, just poking some fun.
Honestly, I have never found the need to spend $20 or so buying some billet preload adjusters when all you really do is set the preload once and then twiddle with the comp and rebound.
Even when I road 2-up for any periods, I never messed with the forks, just the shock.

Agreed.I'm pretty much of the same way of thinking.I have just found that the Hyper is very sensitive to changes that i make.This just makes it a little more convenient.I'm not into this kind of item for the "bling".
oh,and no need to apoligize,i know when guys are having fun on this or any forum.I'm a moderator on a popular Cdn forum and see it all.

and when you factor in how much of a PITA it is to get to the adjusters with an adjustable, I can understand the need for em. Now standard forks without all sorts of junk over top of them isn't the same case.
