Anyway, the ride to work was much better, the high speed weave over rough roads has gone and it feels less wallowy in the bends.
Just need to mod the front forks as they feel really poor now.
Good to know you got there in the end :thumbup: Well worth spending the time and effort in getting it set up properly. Once you get the front end upgraded you will think your on a different bike.

Out of interest how heavy a spring did you settle for in the end :?:

I stuck with the 1000lb spring, it is stiff but not overly so, I'm happy with it.
