[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 133520, member: 3287"] This is what I did, in 1988 when using the bike with Christine touring in France. I went from standard to full suspension in 1967 TT week but reverted back to standard 1970. I took the seat struts with me in 88 and after a weeks touring with friends and returning to their farm with a days terrible riding along the Dordogne. Christine was complaining so fitted the struts and she never complained again. In 95 NZ Rally my hydraulic damper failed in North island and managed to buy a Koni and fitted it in the cattle market prior to John Britten giving us his interesting talk. So I used my friction dampers that stopped us bobbing up & down as if riding a Po Go stick. Don't like to deviate too far from standard. [/QUOTE]
