Your front shock absorber is an Armstrong which the factory used on later production bikes, they work ok for an early design.
Doesn't the Armstrong require the use of the long eyes?

I have Avo dampers on my Comet and have just fitted the latest version to a friends Comet and I am very pleased with the handling of the 2 bikes.Bowsh, look in the rear pages of MPH and you will find an advertisement for AVO. They are happy to deal with you direct and the dampers were developed in conjunction with hadronuk, a well known club member. Your photo shows an Armstrong damper with the short eyebolts, exactly the wrong configuration.
While doing spring and damper testing for the modified steering stem I found the Armstrong to be about the same as a standard damper, certainly better than a Koni in respect of small undulations and all were about the same when hitting potholes or speed humps, if the shock was that violent I too would also suggest you check the front springs.
