Hugo, sounds a bit precarious to me, but I totally get the logic as you are not preventing the front wheel from rotating, which it tends to do quite a lot with the Girdraulic fork, hence the John Emmanuel mod.

Greg,If it's like most Vincent's out there, the front end will be way over sprung. But you will need to remove the upper spring cases either side at the front to see what is lurking within, the inner springs can be removed and this will soften the ride quite a bit.
I’m guessing that next steps are to see what springs I have. I have another damper, that I could try. I’m not certain what one it is though. I’ll take another pic?The loaded photo looks quite good. I have to take back the "over sprung" comment. The oil does a remarkable job.
It looks to me like the travel at full extension is a little short. I am wondering if it is due to using the short eyes with the short damper. You're wheel off the ground looks like many bikes look with their wheel on the ground with some spacers in the spring boxes.
