[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 97055, member: 60"] With the new steering head fitted and initially the fork is not moving as much as I expected, we have reduced the springs to 30lbs and I think the culprit is the 'stiffer' AVO damper that seems too stiff even at lowest setting (adjuster fully anti clock) without the damper the forks fall freely I will continue to monitor and may resort to trying other dampers once I feel the inital run in period is over. I am 12 stone and the Comet has a coil over rear end it has been suggested that the selected damper may have been arrived at by a heavier rider Hadronuk tells me that reducing the dampers effect past the low setting is a factory job To quantify the front damper to obtain a start and maintain a slow continuous movement I need to apply a 28lb pull one way and a 14lb pull the other I cannot praise time traveller for his help in getting this project underway please help him by feedback of your progress [/QUOTE]
