Going to order the SELA when things get back to normal.
On all my sorting out in lock down did find the receipt for the first one I bought.
(No help from Pro Taper, they messaged me back from an Instagram comment, telling me to email Info@protaper.com but they never wrote back)
Anyways so step one: this is the bolt you need to order for Cone Valve forks:
M4 x (0.7mm) x 40mm Full Thread
I got mine from ProBolt.com. I went with Ti in black.
Next step it figuring out what hanger to use and installing the device on the fork guard.
Oh and I think a major thing is that I’m going to drill a hole in the bolt and safety wire it because if it comes loose you will lose everything instantly in the dirt.

Sucks that ProTaper didn't provide proper support for you on this (NEW!!) product. I am and will be a PT customer, but I can't help but wonder if things like this are going to be different now that Paul moved over to Renthal. Not short term but long term.
I'll still stick with the EVO bar and their products because they are very good, but their customer service could be much better.
Thank you
I'm the design engineer for Pro Taper and I know that many personnel in the PT office were on a temp furlough when the covid 19 stuff was blowing and going. Many have returned and the rest will return very soon.
Our leadership at PT is top notch and will continue to be the best. This nutty virus stuff threw all of us for a loop, but things are back to rockin' and will continue to pump out the best in the industry.
Being that the SELA is a totally new product, we would love to hear your experiences with assembly, installation, function, and overall experience. We have logged hundreds and hundreds of cycles of testing in a variety of conditions, but we always want hear from the end customer's personal experience. So, please let us know. We are a tight knit team and can react quickly.
Thanks fellas
And "The Board" isn't gonna love that you have to either recall (or support with bolts mailed out) the "single SKU" already deployed to dealerships. Somebody messed up a long time ago, sucks for the cone valve guys in the meantime.
Things were crazy all over the world the last few months. We will be fine getting the new bolt from Pro Taper or sourcing online like I did.
However, if furlough (which is something THEY do internally) is the reason why folks didn't hear back from PT, they did something wrong. I stand behind that criticism and am only posting in this thread because I'm a huge fan of their products and I hope that any feedback they get here can only help them.
And I have the SELA too and am stoked it's finally out.

“ The fork ring bolt that comes standard with SELA is an M4 x 0.7 x 30mm, which is not long enough for WP Cone Valve forks, as you know. We recommend sourcing a bolt that is 10 millimeters longer (M4 x 0.7 x 40mm). We plan to have these bolts available upon request as soon as we can. In the meantime, however, we ask that you check with your local hardware store or with an online seller. We apologize for the inconvenience.
As for the fork ring assembly, we recommend using the following parts for WP Cone Valve forks on a KTM or Husqvarna:
Receiver "A"
No Spacer
Screw Set "A"”
Hope this info helps! I’ll finish installing mine this weekend or next week.
It’s a great product. Buy one. Don’t ask a million questions. Buy one. Install it. Go to the line by yourself and it all will make sense.
