    Put a zip tie around your forks.

    If you just need the raw sensor itself, go to Newark and search for "LVDT"...

    Alternately, there is a good product selector for Honeywell items here: http://www.sensotec.com/lvdt.asp

    Thanks Baketech! I looked a bunch of places but not Newark. The Vishay's look like they are interesting. I had seen the Honeywell's but not a source in the US

    Pretty much all of the PDF's you need for application data and selection are there on that Honeywell site if you dig around...

    Sheeply, did you ever buy one (or two)?

    I have a couple (one for forks, one for shock) I'm not using and could sell.

    I had not done anything. XT has some that are at a competitive price but I figured I would wait since I have spent WAY to much money lately
