You'll be pleasantly surprised by the initial handling, when you get the springing and damping to suit how you ride you'll be amazed how good it is. Beware the back end affecting what you think the front is doing though.
Dave Hulstone has also sent me a photograph of the new paint job on his AVO damper. A supplied to me these have a very thin coat of paint. Dave's picture shows just what can be achieved. Incidentally it only became clear last week that the bush in the top of the damper is pushed in but not reamed. Youi will need to use a 3/8" reamer to take out about a couple of thou.
Careful pressing that lower bearing race onto the stem..............Don't forget the lower steel washer that goes under it first as this will alter the geometry if left out.
I found it better to get the lower bearing hot before putting it on. That is in the fitting instructions and Greg's advice about the lower washer should be noted.
