They are very. Soft
Stronger spring is the normal with 7.5w
Oil trust us we know even if you only weigh 3stone
But with the rear shock a lighter spring is needed
No point building a bike from nuts and bolts if it don't Handel as it should

what can i say i'm a colourful person, colour aside the firestorm is a very good cheap bike with lots of room for improvement and personal touches.
and i love a bit of carbon fibre, you should get some on your bike buddy would look suttle against the black.
theres a nearly new front mudguard going on ebay in the next 20mins, i would have it myself but i've put a cbr954 front end on my bike,,,

Yep they seem soft alright....I may look into beefing them up a bit then.....cheers.
I got a Vmax too which had the same problem so I put progressive springs in em.

Nice work in rebuilding any paint finish, just a shame you wont want to ride it now cause it will get dirty
