Saw this photo and wondered what the deal is. Mid-90's, KYB, I think.

I think I had a set of those on my YZ250. Hard to tell for sure by that picture.

They were externally adjustable spring "pre load" caps. With a 8 mm you could add more or less preload on the fork spring.

Shoot may still have them around somewhere.
