[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 133401, member: 456"] Ask yourself how many modern cars or bikes use friction dampers for their suspension. This might have been acceptable in 1949 but most of us now think that friction damping is not a good idea. If you do buy the friction material then plenty of grease to cut down on the friction is a good idea or alternatively use PTFE, which has a very low friction coefficient, would help. A fully sprung seat and an AVO coil over will give you the best ride if you do not mind it looking non standard. [/QUOTE]
