Re: help with my forks
Yes the tops are replaceable, there are a few companies that do them but I would recommend Rick Oliver http://www.rvf.dk/rickoliver/
the other option is Gav at jap performance as they have some trick alloy ones but pricey.

Re: help with my forks
Standard adjusters are crap and after some time dont offer much adjustment at all, RO replacements are the way to go if you want em to work well.
