I know it’s been mentioned a lot but has anyone got any experience?
I’m really tempted to do it. After riding a bike with spring forks I’m tempted to get the conversion.
The AER fork is good but it’s never going to be as nice as a traditional spring fork.
I’m looking at doing the WP conversion.
I’ve read that the bike has better bite from the front end when it’s done.
Anyone who’s had the conversion I’d like to hear the thoughts.

I would either get the Öhlins full cartridge kit or a used set of CV/Öhlins/KYB forks. I think the Öhlins cartridge kit is about 1k brand new.
The Shop
I’ve seen WP cone vale inserts available also so I’m going to look into that.
I know you have said in the past comments that the one sided conversion is noticeable being only on one side so I’m think that’s a really valid point.
I Like the fork but do beat you up on the rough tracks here in the U.K.
I actually saw a stock WP fork in the sale section on Vital(or ebay, i don't remember) that had the Öhlins cartridge in it and coated fork legs for around 1k, that would also be a good option!
I just want to say that my dislike against the single sided spring forks is just my opinion, i'm sure that lots of people like them!
I had a set this weekend but they found a new home (Vital member) within hours from posting.
If I were doing inserts I would spring for the KYB SSS kit or the Dal Saggio.
Motofinne: care to elaborate as to why you don't like them?
Post a reply to: AER 48 Air to spring conversion anyone ???
