    @ dartplayer hi mate, I wanted to ask you about what year your SM is?
    The reason is I have bought some Wunderkind fork caps for my 2020 SM and they are just hollow inside.. I am confused as to where or how the right damper rod is supposed to screw into..
    They were advertised for SM 2016 up...your stock right front fork had a damper that screwed into the cap right?

    Hi @Herman66, 2018. The stock fork has a damper with a spacer on top.
    The cap should replace the existing threaded caps, allowing progressive adjustments to increase/decrease the damper/spacer.

    I'm guessing they aren't for the Speedmaster we have, i.e. the water-cooled 1200cc bike which was released in 2018. Apart from the name it is completely different the the previous Triumph bike called Speedmaster.

    Thanks @Dartplayer & @brown mouse .. I bought some 41mm black Wunderkind fork caps but they are both hollow inside..no hole or thread for the right hand side damper rod to screw into.
    I emailed Wunderkind and after numerous conversations they say they are for Bobber and Bobber Black not Speedmaster.
    I bought them from British Legends a French aftermarket part site where they clearly show they are for the Speedmaster. This has happened so many times to me over the years I am close to giving up totally on these 'aftermarket' sites. Hopefully I will get a refund...
    Perhaps I will just powder coat the stock ones and buy new suspension with some of the money I saved!!
    Thanks for getting back anyway...

    But the right damper rod still needs to be screwed into the Wonderkind cap or am I missing something
