Are you in the US? I bought just a few weeks ago and shipping was free iirc. See if you're local dealer can get it for you. Should be $99 in that case.

To those that have these installed is there a noticeable increase in road noise?

I did not notice any.

What are the Dinan bushing made of? Stiff rubber I am guessing.

I've got a Metal Lathe and could make a delrin upper and lower.

Reuse the sleeve inside design it to put the delrin in compression or even add in piece of rubber.

Any reason you have to have rubber at all in the stack?

Just noise and vibration?

There has been some talk of increased side forces on the shaft as the suspension moves through its range of travel. If that is true, then yes a bit of rubber is needed to avoid stressing the shock shaft or introducing friction into the shafts movement.

Is Dinan the only RSM that gives you the extra suspension travel? I saw there are powerflex and THIS from AKG, which sound interesting as well.

I believe dinan is the only one out of the three that gives you the additional travel.

Since the Dinan comes in 3 sizes. 10,12,14mm. I want to confirm the 10mm is right for my Koni shocks. Anyone?

Are they the ones you have to take out to adjust or are they the externally adjustable white ones?
