[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 205432, member: 4617"] Doing some research on the oil lock. In essence it is an oil flow restriction part. You can see in the pictures how the oil will flow faster past the damper tube without the oil lock than with the oil lock installed. It is position sensitive rather than speed sensitive. It alters the compression dampening in the last 10 mm or so of fork travel. A volume of oil is captured by it and must be forced through the gap made by the fork tube and the lock piece, or the pressure tube and lock piece, similar to a low speed valve. This circuit overrides all other compression damping, and the other circuits function only when the lock piece allows the fork to move (courtesy of Peter Verdone web site - [url=https://www.peterverdone.com/archive/oillock.htm]https://www.peterverdone.com/archive/oillock.htm[/url]). This oil lock is only installed on one of the fork tubes, not both. looked for information as to which fork tube it is installed in and cannot find anything, would have thought the OEM service manual would have specified. Looking at the design and what it is to do, I don't believe it really matters as to which fork leg it is in. One site I visited mentioned that Honda may have changed which fork leg the oil lock was in. For right now, the only picture I have seen of which fork leg this is in is the right fork leg. As AApple mentions it is an addition and assists the anti-dive aspect of the system. Cheers [/QUOTE]
