[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1440194, member: 19880"] I bought my 2011 used and it came with Traxxion Dynamics AK20 fork innards that were installed by the original owner. I recently had to do seals and bushings (Seal Mate didn't work anymore) and discovered that he did the installation WITH the middle bushing. I did it without the middle bushing (as Traxxion does) since I didn't have the tool needed to set it in place and found no discernible difference in the "feel". As to if it would make a difference in wear rate, in rough road riding or in hard braking, I don't really know. Most of the bushing wear is in the lower one although middle and upper can be damaged if you have difficulty getting them apart. [/QUOTE]
