    I've had an Oberon master cylinder pot cap and oil filler cap in the past and been very happy with the quality.

    I found them to be a gimmick. As Slick says you can't actually use them unless your swinging from them.

    Maybe so but when you've ruined yours by adjusting them with anything other than a feather duster at least they'll cover your hand fisted damage! :D

    My old Gixer K3 ones were mullered but they looked mint with anodised blue adjusters fitted!

    That's why u wanna use some paper roll or the likes between the nut and socket.

    I also fell foul to the anodising on previous forks getting damaged when adjusting the preload before.

    I use masking tape ... but a small bit slipped and marked the preload nut slightly hence was looking into the adjusters to avoid it happening again.

    But if they are just useless bling I won't bother. The whole point was to be functional!

    But are they useable ?

    I like bling ... But it's got to be bling that works :)

    They work fine, grub screw tightens them up, different colours available as well.
